Samurai and Bushido Mind Map Guide
The samurai and bushido mind map starts with the samurai, the military class of feudal Japan who served daimyo lords. Bushido, meaning the way of the warrior, is the code of conduct that guided their behavior. A clear map separates the social role of the samurai from the ethical ideals of bushido and from the historical periods in which both developed.
- Samurai class: warrior retainers, their status and their duties to a lord
- Bushido virtues: rectitude, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty and loyalty
- Historical periods: rise in the Heian era, peak under the shogunates, decline after the Meiji Restoration
- Cultural legacy: influence on martial arts, literature and modern Japanese identity
Use the map to revise before an exam or to plan an essay on bushido. Build your own version from your notes with CogniGuide so the branches match your course.
