Samurai
Summary
It's thought the samurai developed as a social class in medieval Japan, when the term could encompass lowly foot soldiers or mercenaries - and often untrustworthy ones at that. It's a far cry from the skilled fighters who supposedly pledged undying loyalty to their lord and followed a code of honour. Rajan Datar and guests discuss the reality behind the stereotypical image of Japan's fearsome elite samurai warriors
