The samurai were usually associated with a clan and their lord, and were trained as officers in military tactics and grand strategy. 🔎 They cultivated the bushido codes of martial virtues, indifference to pain, and unflinching loyalty, engaging in many local battles. Bushido was the set of codes of honour and ideals that dictated the samurai way of life, loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. ✎ Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai Singlemindedness is all-powerful.” Respect, Honesty, Courage, Rectitude, Loyalty, Honour, Benevolence.” Knowing the Way is to know your own faults.” One cannot advance without great courage.” Victory and defeat are matters of the temporary force of circumstances.”
