The Spirit Of Samurai
Japanese is a country that is well-known with the so called ‘country of sakura’ or else ‘ sunrise country’. Hearing the word ‘Japan’ , for me, it is so identical with the term ‘samurai‘, a social community of Japanese heroes/soldiers.
The Japanese have a deep pride towards samurai, and so many kinds of stories, comics and movies to memorize it. It seems that the term ‘samurai’ doesn’t belong to Japanese only, it has been worldwide know. Even in the country I live, Indonesia, movies like Samurai X , Ronin the warrior, and some other samurai comics are familiar.
