It’s time to dive deeper into the world of bushido, where honor, loyalty, and discipline reign supreme. But, let’s get real, who doesn’t want to learn about the samurai’s epic hairstyles, right?

The samurai code of conduct, bushido, was heavily influenced by Zen Buddhism and Confucianism.

Samurai warriors were expected to be proficient in literature, poetry, and art, not just combat.

The traditional samurai hairstyle, the ‘chonmage,’ was a symbol of dignity and honor.

Samurai armor was incredibly ornate, with intricate designs and colors indicating rank and status.

The legendary 47 ronin, a group of masterless samurai, avenged their lord’s death in 1702, becoming a symbol of loyalty and honor.
