The samurai emerged in Japan during the late 12th century, primarily as a response to the need for military leaders and warriors to protect land and maintain order amid the political instability of the feudal era. As powerful landowners, or daimyōs, sought to secure their territories against rival clans, they required a loyal and skilled fighting force, leading to the rise of the samurai class. This warrior elite became integral to Japanese society, embodying values such as loyalty, honor, and discipline, which were codified in the bushido code. Over time, their role evolved from mere soldiers to influential figures in governance and culture.
