Knights and Samurai
The Samurai of the East have gone the way of the Knights of the West.
Three characteristics shared by knights and samurai were loyalty to their lords, adherence to a code of ethics (chivalry for knights, bushido for samurai), and the use of a variety of weapons and fighting techniques in battle.
Samurai

Samurai
Samurai, but actually knights were European Samurai.
Yes Samurai are like the equivalent to European knights.
In Japan women were equal to men, thus a women could become a samurai. In Europe Women weren't treated equal to men, thus they couldn't become knights. Samurai soldiers slept with their swords because they were scared of their wives, European soldiers didn't.
People wrote about them because, Some writers wanted something to write about so people picked samurai and knights because, they are alike in many wierd disgusting ways. ( I hope i answered you question!)
The Eastern Samurai were the equivalent of the Western Knights in Europe. They worked for Lords/Kings.
