Description
Nederlands: Een samurai, ofwel een lid van de feodale krijgersklasse van Japan. Vooral in de Edo-periode ontstaan er strenge scheidingen tussen verschillende lagen van de Japanse maatschappij, zoals boeren, handelaren, en samurai. De laatste klasse trekt alle macht naar zich toe. Alleen samurai mogen wapens dragen, veelal de voor hen zo karakteristieke lange en korte zwaarden. Niet alle samuari zijn ook daadwerkelijk krijger. Soms zijn ze meer ambtenaren en zijn de zwaarden meer een symbool dan een echt wapen.
English: A samurai was member of the feudal class of warriors. Especially during the Edo period, the Japanese society was divided into sharply defined classes: farmers, traders and samurai. The latter class took over all power. Only samurai were allowed to carry weapons, usually the characteristic long and short swords. Not every samurai was actually a warrior, some were officials and their swords were more a symbol than an actual weapon.
