Samurai the Spirit of Japan
Hearing the word ‘Japan‘ , for me, there are so many things that cross my mind. First, my mind jump to a wonderful white-pinkish sakura. Then I remember sunrise, as picturised in Japanese national flag. Then again I remember the term ‘samurai‘. As I do my surfing across the world wide web, Samurai can be identified as a social community of Japanese heroes/soldiers. The Japanese always keeps a deep pride towards samurai.
The greatness of samurai is depicted by their above-common ability. In some stories, a Samurai can move as fast as wind. A samurai is a martial art’s expert, and their sword can even able to break the heavy rocks, and many other amazing skills they have. It is said that the samurai noble value have been in the blood of the Japanese until the recent days. The Japanese are known with their persistent, tough, and won’t give up on things.
