The samurai were the warriors of japan. Samurai employed a range of weapons such as bows and arrows, spears and guns; but their most famous weapon and their symbol was the sword. The samurai were expected to follow the code of Bushido or the code of the warrior. Bushido stressed concepts such as loyalty to one's master, self discipline and respectful, ethical behavior. Many samurai ,for an "honorable" death, committed suicide by cutting the abdomen a slow extremely painful death. This was called seppuku.
