The Samurai; for centuries, the name has represented unfailing courage, imperturbable loyalty and internal harmony. Today the name is no less respected and stories of the Samurai myths and legends have become more and more popular.
In Japan, there were 3 Samurai forces: Peasants, clergy and nobility. The way to power in old Japan led through the peasants, the clergy and the nobility. To become a Samurai, one had to be supported by one of these forces and have strong connections to the others.
