The samurai was the class of military nobles of feudal Japan. They were the prestigious retainers of the landowning lords known as daimyo although there were also masterless samurai known as ronin. From the late 12th century to the 19th century, these lords and their samurai ruled over Japan through a form of military government known as the shogunate despite the nominal sovereignty of the Emperor of Japan. With the dissolution of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1868, the Meiji Restoration spelled the end of this age of samurai, returning authority to the Imperial Court.
