Although samurai do not have any official status in today's modern Japan, descendants of samurai families still enjoy a high esteem among the Japanese population.
Whether it be through Martial Arts, the peaceful arts, or their core beliefs, or the styles of swordsmanship, the samurai continue to influence life to the day.

The Samurai warriors are one of the great treasures of Japan, their beliefs and actions have brought great pride to the Japanese. They have given Japan a national identity and helped define their culture , enriching their sense of who they are as people.
The concept of Bushido is illustrated by the Kamikaze fights in World War 2.
