The largest and probably the most
famous of these categories of people were samurai of feudal professional-class
warrior from Japan who ruled the country from 1192 until 1868, during which
they made 10: 00-noon to 00 percent of the population.
The forces and the profound influence of the culture of the samurai and the Japanese company were based on concepts adopted from a number of philosophical and religious beliefs, especially Shinto, Zen Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.
Unsurprisingly, this behavior deeply rooted has extraordinary consequences that are mostly negative.
People to behave in a certain way. As counterintuitive it may seem today, the only large group of people who have fully recognized and accepted the fragility and brevity of life and on the basis of their way of living that knowledge were samurai warriors feudal Japan famous and known for his amazing martial arts skills, their cruelty in war, and the serenity with which he faced death.
Samurai warriors generally followed this philosophy of life with profound diligence for two very simple reasons. Here is the Shichi Toku in the order of their importance in the daily lives of the samurai:

Samurai warriors generally followed this philosophy of life with profound diligence for two very simple reasons. Here is the Shichi Toku in the order of their importance in the daily lives of the samurai:
Kennin (Kane-neen) -
Indomitable spirit, courage and perseverance
From childhood, boys and girls of the samurai class were taught and necessary to demonstrate the extraordinary spirit, courage and perseverance in all facets of their lives.
From around the age of six or seven boys all the samurai who are not physically or mentally disabled were forced to participate in the training Kenda ?? (Ken-DOHH), literally "the way of the sword" and fight figuratively with a first sword using wooden swords or wooden teams.
Youth have been formally and officially recognized as "samurai warriors" when they became fifteen, when they were forced to use two swords at all times when they were in a public-longsword to attack others or defend and a short sword to commit suicide when that time came.
young samurai who were assigned to military units were forced to continue their daily training until he retires injury or old age. All Shoguns, vice shoguns, feudal lords and ranking members of the Shogunate and fiefs had their own Kenda ?? training centers including teachers. It was taken very seriously by the samurai class.

Shinnen (Sheen-nana)
Hustle Faith
The lifespan requiring samurai demanded that they develop the extraordinary belief that their attitudes and behavior were admirable and better than other ways of life. The complex had a strong influence on Japanese society, aesthetically, economically, politically and militarily. In some cases, this influence is positive; in other cases, it was negative.
Some of the results of the negative side of this complex became internationally known in the 19th and 20th centuries because of military campaigns by the Japanese against Korea, Russia, China, the United States, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.
Shincho (Sheen-CHOH)
Attention, attention, discretion
One of the main features as the samurai of Japan had to develop from a very early age was to exercise extreme Shincho (prudence, caution, discretion) in their daily lives.
Most current Japanese, especially the older generations, have kept most of the traditional integrated response Shincho in their relations with others, because the level of physical and verbal label daily remains high.
The Shincho factor in the Japanese behavior always comes into play when they are dealing with the level of non-Japanese and the business, diplomatic and social people involved, the higher the level of Shincho is involved.
Tatemae (-my tah-tay), or an element of "façade" in Japanese speech (which explore in detail in book, the cultural codeword Japan), is an extension of Shincho factor.
Seigi (Tell ghee)
Righteousness and justice
Despite the cruel appearance and often barbaric culture of the samurai there was an underlying theme Seigi (say-ghee) or righteousness and justice, in its code of ethics and morals.
Feudal Japanese history is in fact full of examples of extraordinary sense of fairness and justice of the typical samurai. In Japan Current examples range Seigi ordinary people who go to extremes to return lost items to their rightful owners, including wallets containing money to entrepreneurs who remain faithful to partners and suppliers, even when seriously disadvantageous for them to do so.
There was also a label prescribed for ordinary people, especially in their interactions with the samurai. During the early years of the last dynasty of the Shogunate (Tokugawa shogunate, 1603-1868), it became the law of a samurai could kill the entire commoner who show the required respect. The samurai could then apologize and leave. This law was known kirisute gomen (kee-ree-suu-tay go-mane), literally "the unfortunate death."
[During the Tokugawa shogunate an edict was passed making it necessary to apply the samurai shogunate official authorization to embark on revenge killings.]
Another aspect of education and training samurai was his indoctrination in Buddhism and Confucianism, who taught temperance and moderation in all things.
Of course, all this does not mean that most samurai were sessei paradigms, but most scrupulously comply with the prescription label for this class, which causes a moderate level was extraordinarily high by global standards.
The legacy of the Samurai inspired sessei has not performed well in contemporary Japan. Interestingly, the reason why the Japanese have traditionally "let your hair down" drinking is that throughout history, the only time that people could legitimately and safely ignore the strict etiquette and " be themselves "was when they drank to the rule that applies to ordinary people as samurai.

Jizen (Jee-Zane)
Benevolence and charity
It can be difficult for people who are casually familiar with the history of the samurai to associate kindness and charity with samurai warriors at the time, both feudal and after the samurai system completed in the 1870s and warriors carrying the sword They were reformulated in the uniforms and weapons of the military forces of Western-style of the day.
According to contemporary Western standards the same behavior of the samurai during both periods was actually barbaric and savage. The real jizen (jee-Zane) samurai of Japan was largely overshadowed by his role as warriors, their vision and treatment of the death of his own and that of others and for his role as judge and jury in the establishment and enforcement of laws to control the behavior of ordinary people.
There are many historical examples of town and samurai town magistrates who were famous for their wisdom and kindness.
Over generations of samurai time it is these same character traits jizen were rooted in the culture of the people, but the way of the samurai drama of the struggle has overshadowed the goodwill and hospitality that has been characteristic of Japanese common throughout its history, functionality that still persists today and is often so unexpected for foreign visitors who are surprised.
One of my favorite stories, which focuses on the character and behavior of typical Japanese involves the famous writer-author Lafcadio Hearn. He went to Japan in the late 1800s on an assignment for a magazine and was so fascinated by the behavior of the Japanese, he proclaimed that live Japan was like living in paradise, and stayed there for the rest of your life.
Hearn was referring to the refined Japanese label all natural and specifically for the hospitality and the incredible honesty and good will of ordinary Japanese.
But traditionally the Japanese practice ofjizen was more complicated than all that suggests. Interestingly, the Japanese have traditionally regarded foreigners as special guests of the country, and usually treated with special kindness and charity.

Kiba ?? (Kee-bohh)
A life full of hope
Despite the many cultural and governmental restrictions that limit the options and possibilities of Japanese before modern times, the Japanese were not a sad or morbid people. (Kee-bohh), or hope, that helped to cope with the rigorous life imposed by samurais over a period of nearly 800 years, a period during which they served as models and created and executed the decrees that controlled the behavior of ordinary people.
As in previous generations, six other virtues promoted by gradually impregnated samurai mentality all Japanese, and continue to this day to distinguish them from others.
This does not mean that all Japanese samurai were paragons of these six primary virtues, or to ignore the fact that definitions and nuances of all these virtues were based on the values and aspirations of the Japanese, who often differ fundamentally Western precepts.
But within Japanese society at the time of the samurai ethic level, customs, morals and general behavior was so high, if not higher than what was done before or after in another company. The world heritage samurai remains today the basis of etiquette, ethics, and here and there the import of democratic ideals of individualism and selfishness of Western, particularly the United States has weakened morality of Japan, but, however, visible in all areas of society.
The one area of Japanese culture that is most visible to outsiders, and they can participate without previous experience or knowledge is the fun side, the side of pleasure, combined which is probably the largest industry in the country.
Without the spirit, perseverance, desire and pride that has become the hallmark of the samurai character would have required the Japanese decades to overcome the devastation and loss caused by its defeat in World War II, much less become a economic superpower.
