Bushid? (Bushid?), meaning “Way of the Warrior”, is a Japanese code of conduct and a way of life, loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. It originates from the samurai moral code and stresses frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honour unto death. Bushid? developed between the 11th to 14th centuries as set forth by numerous translated documents dating from the 12th to 16th centuries (as mentioned below). However, some dependable sources also state the document might have been formulated in the 17th century.
The seven virtues of bushido are:
Rectitude (gi)
Courage (y?)
Benevolence (jin)
Respect (rei)
Honesty (makoto or shin)
Honour, Glory (meiyo)
Loyalty (ch?gi)
