8. Bushidō (武士道, "the way of warriors") was the set of codes of honour and ideals that dictated the samurai way of life, loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry. The "way" originates from the samurai moral values, most commonly stressing some combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery, and honour until death.
