Samurai
The samurai was the class of military nobles of feudal Japan. They were the prestigious retainers of land-owning lords known as daimyō 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 shōgunate despite the nominal sovereignty of the Emperor of Japan and the Imperial Court.[1]
The age of the samurai came to an end with dissolution of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Boshin War and the subsequent Meiji Restoration.[2]
