Bushi

Literally, warrior, a Bushi is a follower of Bushido, the code of honor traditionally held by the samurai caste of Nippon. This usually entailed direct adherence to the Seven Virtues of Bushido as well as demonstrating martial skill. Traditionally, if wearing a sword was the mark of a samurai, wearing the daisho, the pair of short and long swords, was the mark of Bushi.
