Honour until death - that is the way of Warrior whose soul and body follows the law of Bushido.
"The samurai of thirty years ago had behind him a thousand years of training in the law of honour, obedience, duty,
and
self-sacrifice..... It was not needed to create or establish them.
As a child he had but to be instructed, as indeed he was from his earliest years, in the etiquette of self-immolation. The fine instinct of honour demanding it was in the very blood..."
(Historian Arthur May Knapp)
