Bushido“The way of the warrior” The Bushido is the samurai code of rules. Both men and women have to learn the rules of Bushido. The Bushido said only men went to war. Both men and women of samurai family learned how to fight. The Bushido told samurai to live simple and disciplined lives. The Bushido told samurai to do peaceful rituals that required concentration such as keeping flower arrangements, growing bonsai trees and holding tea ceremonies. Many samurai became Zen Buddhists because it stressed self discipline.
Samurai and Honor Honor was very important to samurai. The Bushido required samurai to be brave and honorable fighters. Samurai could lose honor by losing a fight, disobeying an order, and failing to protect his lord. If a samurai lost honor he was expected to commit suicide. Samurai were not free to do what they pleased.
How Bushido Connects to Modern Japan Values such as loyalty and honor in the Bushido are still important in Japan. Also, many people still do martial arts with swords like the samurai did.
