Beschreibung
The idea of the sword-wielding samurai, warriors beholden to a strict ethical code and trained in deadly martial arts, dominates popular conceptions. As early as the late seventeenth century, they were heavily featured in literature, art, theater, and even comedy. This legacy continues in film, and countless renditions of samurai history in anime, manga, and video games. Much as they capture the modern imagination, the samurai commanded influence over the politics, arts, philosophy and religion of their own time, and ultimately controlled Japan from the fourteenth century until their demise in the mid-nineteenth century. On and off the battlefield, whether charging an enemy on horseback or currying favor at the imperial court, their story is one of adventures and intrigues, heroics and misdeeds, unlikely victories and devastating defeats.
