Bushido:
(In Japanese, 'conduct of the warrior' ) code of ethics observed by the noble warriors or samurai of feudal Japan. As the rules of the orders of chivalry which prevailed in medieval Europe, Bushido was based on virtues such as honesty, perseverance, thrift, courage, courtesy, truthfulness, and, especially, loyalty to the rulers and the country . Only through the exercise of these virtues was a gentleman to keep his honor, and who had sullied was forced to suicide by harakiri . Powered to its full expression to the late twelfth century, the Bushido became the sixteenth century in a written code. To be abolished feudalism (approximately mid-nineteenth century), this code was abandoned, but their influence persists, particularly in the military.
