These estates were administered by territorial barons, or the daimyo. By the 12th cent.

  5. Samurai • Was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean "those who serve in close attendance to the nobility," the pronunciation in Japanese changing to saburai."

  6. Code of Bushido • 1.) Bushido, literally the way of the warrior was a code of ethics of the warrior that would be analogous to the code of chivalry of the knights during the European feudal period. Bushido was based on the Japanese national tradition and religious heritage: largely Shinto and Buddhism. • 2.) The concept of Bushido was first developed in the Kamakura period (12th Century) at the rise of the Shogunates (regional politico-military feudal lords).

  10. The End of The Japanese Samurai • Tokugawa and his descendents ruled over a peaceful Japan for two and half centuries. The role of the samurai in peacetime declined gradually over this period, but two factors led to the end of samurai: the urbanization of Japan, and the end of isolationism. • As more and more Japanese moved to the cities, there were fewer farmers producing the rice needed to feed the growing population. The luxurious living enjoyed by the shoguns and many daimyos started to wear away at the economic system.
