∙ 13y agosamurai lived frugal lives with no interest in riches or material things, but rather in honor and pride. Samurai had no fear of death. They would enter any battle no matter the odds. The Code of the Samurai sometimes called the "The Seven Virtues of the Samurai" was originally verbally passed of to each generation but over time it was changed to the written form of Bushido, Bushido means "Way of the warrior", this is a Japanese code of conduct and a way of life. Bushido is the code of moral principles, which the samurai were required or instructed to observe. If a samurai failed to obey The Seven Virtues and uphold his honor he could regain it by performing seppuku (ritual suicide).
Here are The Seven Virtues associated with bushido:
Gi - Rectitude
Yū - Courage
Jin - Benevolence
Rei - Respect
Shin- Honesty
Meiyo - Honor
Chū - Loyalty
Others that are sometimes added to these:
Kō - Filial piety
Chi - Wisdom
Tei - Care for the aged
These are the qualities that the samurai should have.
