Samurai are one of a warrior class of Japanese society. During the feudal period it denoted the military retainers of a daimayo, a feudal baron under the shogun, or military governor, of Japan. The samurai wore two swords and followed a rigid code of ethics known as bushido. In 1867 the last shogun resigned, and the samurai lost their priviledges in 1871 when the feudal system was abolished.
