These rigorous warriors had to firmly conform to their masters to directly demonstrated respect to those above them in the social class, and they had to follow the bushido code, which was a unique Japanese code of conduct that was created in the 1600s. The bushido code worked impeccably well during war periods, but since the Tokugawa shogunate brought over two hundred years of peace and unity among Japan, the role of the bushido code drastically changed the samurai’s violent existence into one of civility, wisdom, and tranquility. With the warrior class suffering the most during an era of peace, Musui’s story contradicts the relationship between samurai ideals and actual samurai life with the personal account of Katsu Kokichi, who lived a life unworthy of the samurai ways during the Edo period. Kokichi, who officially took the name of Musui after his retirement, lived an adventurous life that can very well highlight the differences between a samurai of the Tokugawa period with one of earlier existence.

Non-Western History Project: Axis Power of Japan During World War 2 By: Kaeli Blanchfield World History Period six Tuseday, March 11, 2014 Blanchfield 1 The Empire of Japan, a constitutional monarchy ruled by Hirohito, was the principal Axis power in Asia and the Pacific. The Japanese constitution prescribed that "the Emperor is the head of the Empire, combining in Himself the rights of sovereignty, and exercises them, according to the provisions of the present Constitution" (article 4) and that "The Emperor has the supreme command of the Army and the Navy" (article 11).
