The Samurai

They were the knights of Medieval Japan. Obedient to their unforgiving code of ethics, these men were the absolute rulers of Japan for more than 700 years. An elite warrior class, they were masters of the sword and bow, and the warriors the fearsome Mongol Horde never lived to conquer.

While there were indeed many warrior classes that had reigned over nations and territories throughout our planet's history, none has ever surpassed the samurai in its influence on the way of life of its people. These men held fast to the code of bushido, or way of the warrior, and are willing to throw their lives for the lord whom they served. Now, with numerous historical evidences all rolled into a single documentary, we will see the recreation of the history of these knights that carved the Japanese way of life, the Samurai.
