ซามูไร

Samurai were members of Japan's professional warrior class who served as retainers to lords, training from childhood in martial skills like swordsmanship, archery, and horsemanship that often only they were legally permitted to possess. Their years of specialized training in these weapons made them militarily superior to conscripts and militia, giving them a distinct social and military role in pre-industrial Japanese society.
