| Though they had predecessors in earlier military and administrative officers, the samurai truly emerged during the [[Kamakura shogunate]], ruling from {{Circa}}1185 to 1333. They became the ruling political class, with significant power but also significant responsibility. During the 13th century, the samurai proved themselves as adept warriors against the invading [[Mongols]]. During the peaceful [[Edo period]], 1603 to 1868, they became the stewards and chamberlains of the ''daimyo'' estates, gaining managerial experience and education. | | Though they had predecessors in earlier military and administrative officers, the bushido warrior concept and caste of [[Oyashima]] truly formalized between [[1185]] to [[1333]]. They became the ruling political class, with significant power but also significant responsibility. During the 13th century, the bushido warriors proved themselves as adept warriors against the invading [[Ayo Khanate]]. It was during this time, the 16th century, that some daimyos began a trade network with [[Tierrador|Qabór]] in [[Crona]]. As a result some wealthy bushido warriors, called samurai in [[Tierrador|Qabóri]], traveled to [[Tierrador|Qabór]]. Some of them were retained as advisors to the Qabóri emperor and started a cultural investment in samurai culture in [[Tierrador|Qabór]]. |

| In the 1870s, samurai families comprised 5% of the population. As modern militaries emerged in the 19th century, the samurai were rendered increasingly obsolete and very expensive to maintain compared to the average conscript soldier. The [[Meiji Restoration]] ended their feudal roles, and they moved into professional and entrepreneurial roles. Their memory and weaponry remain prominent in [[Japanese popular culture]].
| | From [[1603]] to [[1868]], the [[Oyashima]]ne bushido warrior, became the stewards and chamberlains of the diamyo estates, as well as the new [[patroon]]s of the [[Duchy of Martilles]]'s [[Oyashima|Far East Colony]] gaining managerial experience and education. As the colonization of [[Oyashima|Far East Colony]] progressed the role of the bushido warrior was diminished. Starting in the 1680s bushido warriors started an exodus to [[Tierrador|Qabór]] where their ways were respected. By [[1715]], [[Tierrador|Qabór]] had become the hub of bushido warrior culture. |
