Samurai were the warrior class of Japan. The samurai protected their Daimyo from attacks by other fuedal warlords. The sword was the weapon of choice for a samurai. They were trained in the martial art of ken-jutsu, "The Warrior Art of the Sword" and were guided by Bushido, "Way of the Warrior". This screensaver displays 55 images of samurai with their glorious costumes and weaponry, drawn by Japanese artists from the mid to late 1800's.
