The samurai were influenced by various factors, including Zen Buddhism, which emphasized discipline and meditation, shaping their mindset and approach to combat. Confucianism also played a crucial role, promoting values like loyalty, honor, and duty toward one's lord and family. Additionally, military strategies and tactics from Chinese texts, such as "The Art of War," influenced their martial practices. Socio-political changes in Japan, particularly during the feudal era, further shaped the samurai's identity and responsibilities.
