  samurai - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about samurai
A samurai was an armed retainer of a daimyō (large landowner) with specific duties and privileges and a strict code of honour.
From the 16th century, commoners were not allowed to carry swords, whereas samurai had two swords, and the higher class of samurai were permitted to fight on horseback.
All the needs of the samurai household had to be provided for by the sale of surplus rice, and when rice rose less quickly in price than other commodities, the samurai became poorer and poorer.

 A Concise History of Japan
The lords and the samurai warriors who served them fought battles that were decided not by tactics or the movement of formations, but by man-to-man duels between great champions.
Whereas the samurai used no military formations and challenged their opponents to formalized single combat, the Mongols were experienced tacticians that maneuvered skillfully in tight formations even when on horseback; they also had crossbows and catapults.
Feudalism was abolished in 1871; all fiefs were declared the emperor's property, and the samurai were pensioned off; they were forbidden to carry swords or even to wear their traditional topknots.

 Judo Book Review - The Code of the Samurai
The influence of the samurai, and their code of Bushido, on the manners and morals of Japan cannot be measured.
For this reason I have used the word "samurai" in it instead of "bushi," which is not so familiar to readers of English, though it is more comprehensive as meaning the military man or warrior and therefore including the daimyo, or feudal lord, which the term samurai does not.
"Samurai" is an expression of respectable antiquity incidentally, and a pure Japanese one, first used in the sense of military retainer in the tenth century, and adopted in the late twelfth century by the Kamakura military govern-ment as the official designation of the War Department or Samurai-dokoro.

 Ancient Japan - 4
The samurai, in theory, performed military service on the battlefield and during times of peace, in addition to managing agricultural holdings, engaging in hunting and training in the martial arts, and nourishing a rugged and practical character.
Medieval texts speak of kyuba no michi ("the way of the bow and horse"), or yumiya toru mi no narai ("the practices of those who use the bow and arrow"), indicating that there was an emerging sense of ideal warrior behaviour that grew out of this daily training and the experience of actual warfare.
During the Kamakura period the newly arisen samurai class began to supercede the ancient civil aristocracy, which nonetheless continued to maintain the classical culture.

 Japanese Cultural Glossary - traditional terms and pop-culture references
Usually Samurai served a particular Daimyo, but if their lord died, or times were hard, many Samurai were forced to become Ronin, and ply their wares where ever they could find some work.
However, Samurai disdained trade and enterprise, and when the ronin found themselves unemployed many of them turned to banditry to supplement their incomes.
Their numbers tended to grow, and as a social grouping they were a thorn in the side of sucessive Shoguns.

Es sollte in dieser Beziehung noch beachtet werden, daß zu Anfang der Feudalperiode das Wort „Samurai“ nicht allein zur Bezeichnung von kämpfenden Männern diente, sondern vielmehr allgemein für „Diener“ oder „Untergebener“ verwendet wurde.
In späterer Zeit sollte der Begriff „Samurai“ jedoch zunehmend Krieger kennzeichnen, die offiziell in den Diensten eines Herren standen.
Der ursprüngliche Sinn des Wortes „Samurai“ blieb jedoch stets enthalten, auch Personen außerhalb des Schwertadels konnten Samurai sein/ werden.
