In the former feudal system of Japan, the class or a member of the class, of military retainers of the daimios, constituting the gentry or lesser nobility. They possessed power of life and death over the commoners, and wore two swords as their distinguishing mark. Their special rights and privileges were abolished with the fall of feudalism in 1871.
The meaning of the word samurai is "To Serve". They were supposed to do as their Lord says, even if it is stupid or wrong.

They were called samurai, which came from the verb "saburau" meaning "to serve."
For over 1000 years, the samurai were the military nobility of Japan. They lived and died by a disciplined, spiritual code called "Bushido" (meaning "way of the warrior"). Skilled with swords, horses, and bows, these men served their lords. The term samurai means "one who serves," a samurai maintained that title until he had no lord or employer, where they were then called ronin.
"Samurai" was a hereditary title, meaning you were born into a samurai family and had no choice about becoming one. If not born samurai it was essentially impossible to become one, as samurai status was something that was given or taken at the will of the local daimyo (lord). And since the title and its associated benefits was considered the highest honour, the title was given to non-samurai families extremely rarely.
some trees, like the cherry blossom, or sakura in Japanese, represent serenity, or it can be used to show a samurai's life. One samurai said, "A samurai's life is like a cherry blossom. It is beautiful, and then it fades." So trees, represent their way of honor.
it is a spiritual medical terminology about the laws of love and when and how to kill another human being. not a samurai story.....

Although it stands to reason that a samurai should be mindful of the Way of the Samurai, it would seem that we are all negligent. Consequently, if someone were to ask, "What is the true meaning of the Way of the Samurai?" the person who would be able to answer promptly is rare. This is because it has not been established in one's mind beforehand. From this, one's unmindfulness of the Way can be known. Negligence is an extreme thing.
