Samurai

Samurais were typically chosen based on their noble lineage, as they were part of the warrior class in feudal Japan. Many samurais were born into samurai families, inheriting their status and responsibilities. Additionally, skill in martial arts, loyalty to a lord, and the ability to uphold bushido, the samurai code of conduct, were crucial factors in their selection and promotion within the ranks. In some cases, talented warriors from lower classes could be elevated to samurai status through notable deeds in battle or service to a daimyo (feudal lord).

The size of a samurai army could vary significantly based on the period, the specific clan, and the context of the conflict. During the feudal era in Japan, a samurai army could range from a few hundred to several thousand warriors, depending on the resources and influence of the clan. For example, larger clans could mobilize more troops during significant battles, while smaller factions might have only a handful of samurai. Ultimately, the exact number could fluctuate widely based on various factors.

Around the time the Mongrol fleet invaded Japan the samurai began to change the way the did battle and rather than on horseback with bow and arrow the warriors relied more and more on swords and traveled by foot.

During peaceful times the daimyo and high officials, in a pageant to show rank and status, traveled in palanquins made of lacquered wood and split bamboo carried on the shoulders of eight to a dozen bearers. The lesser officials and ordinary samurai, foot soldiers, clerks, sevants and even horseman traveled by foot.
