    I like this article. It would be a good article to share with my students in the study of the honor code in societies: the samurai in Japan. King Arthur in England. Christ...Buddha.

    I didn't realize that I was more fascinated with the Samurai culture than I thought. I came across an article that discussed the origins of the Yakuza (similar to a Japanese mafia) during the Tokugawa era. The Yakuza is compared to as the modern day Samurais. As according to the article, the "[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Yakuza have always prided themselves upon the code of [/font]bushido[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif], or way of the samurai.."[/font]
