- 1武士（日文寫「侍」；不要跟忍者混在一起）
A samurai was a member of a powerful military class in Japan in the past — warriors who served a lord and were trained to fight. For hundreds of years they sat near the top of Japanese society. Films show the swords and armour, though actually real life was also land, duty, and paperwork, not only battles. The class was ended in the late 1800s, when Japan rebuilt itself as a modern country, so samurai is a historical word, not a job you apply for now. Do not mix them up with ninja, who belong to a different picture: secret work, not this high warrior class. English borrowed the Japanese word and kept it.
