The Samurai: Their name is known the world over as a symbol of bravery, unbreakable loyalty and inner harmony. Even today, their reputation survives, unblemished, and their history has acquired legendary status. The Samurai was dominated by three forces, religion, and the priesthood, feudalism, and the nobles that held power under it, and the force of the common people, the rice farmers. Any one man who wished to take over the reins of power first had to ensure the total loyalty and support of at least one of these three strands of Japanese society.  And for real power, connections with the other two were equally necessary, if their strength was not to be used against him.
