Code of Honor (Samurai) I

Read about the code of the Samurai and identify some of the rules that samurai must follow.  
The Code of Bushido
The business of the samurai consists...in discharging loyal service to his master
if he has one,* in deepening his fidelity fioyalty] in associations with friends, and
... in devoting himself to duty above all. However, in one's own life, one becomes
5
unavoidably involved in obligations between father and child, older and younger
brother, and husband and wife.... The samurai confines himself to practicing the
Way; should there be someone...who transgresses [does wrong] against these
moral principles, the samurai summarily punishes him and thus upholds proper
moral principles in the land.... (O)utwardly he stands in physical readiness for any
10
call to service and inwardly he strives to fulfill the Way...., Within his heart he
keeps to the ways of peace, but without he keeps his weapons ready for use.
Yamaga Soko, Ihe Way of the Samurai, 1600s;
