What Is Bushido? The Soul of the Samurai Explained

  W hat comes to mind when you hear the word “ samurai ”? A brave swordsman in armor? A stoic warrior who lives and dies by honor?

Armies required ships, supplies, and manpower. This is why, before the Meiji era , Japan fought only three major international wars: The Battle of Baekgang (663) The Mongol Invasions (1274–1281) Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s Korean campaigns (1592–1...
