In the 1800s, the life of samurai in Japan was marked by a transition from a feudal society to a more modern state as the country underwent significant changes during the Meiji Restoration. Traditionally, samurai held privileged positions as warriors and administrators, but as the samurai class began to lose its power and relevance, many faced challenges adapting to new roles in a rapidly industrializing society. Some samurai became officials or businesspeople, while others struggled with the loss of status. Overall, the era was characterized by a mix of nostalgia for the past and the necessity to embrace new opportunities and lifestyles.
Yes Samurai are like the equivalent to European knights.
good
Everyone can be a Samurai if they have Bushido. Samurais are not only for Japanese, it's for somebody who is aiming to be a Samurai and a brave warrior.

probably like life back in the 1700s or 1800s.
18th century Japan was time of peace. Samurai warriors turned bureaucrats and Japan still produced military weapons but cost of them was ridiculous.
to my knowledge the samurai studied judo and stuff like that ....i study the art of the samurai and i use katanas and do more then 6 types of martial arts . but they also did more then that but i do not know all of it
The Meiji Restoration of 1868 abolished the Samurai "class" in Japan. However, many people still make attempts at following aspects of the culture like Bushido.
Samurai no longer exist. Ever since guns were invented (somewhere around the 1800's) they no longer stood a chance since they only had swords and bows and arrows. Although they do not exist anymore, their suicide ritual of seppuku is still done by a few (very few) Japanese. Seppuku is a suicidal ritual where the person (usually someone of high rank, poor people did not commit seppuku) cuts open their abdomen. It can be considered as a way to test strength because it was amazing to be able to make the full three cuts. Then, a close friend cuts off their head, swiftly. The Samurai were killed because they believed in woman not having any rights and other things like that, but Japan wanted change. So, the Samurai had to go.
