The principles of Bushido came into effect in the eighth century as a code of honor for samurai of Japan. These tenants formed the guidelines for a principled life and have become a fundamental aspect of Japanese culture to this day.

The code itself stresses eight ideals or virtues, which samurai are meant to follow until their final day: Benevolence, Courage, Respect, Sincerity, Righteousness, Honor, Self-Control, and Loyalty.

By following them, a samurai could fulfill his duties to his lord and to Japanese society as a whole.

To brandish the Bushido design is to stand for dignity, tradition, and commitment to your clan. You enter a heritage of legends who have walked the path before you. They provide strength and guidance as you fulfil your duty and pave the way for your legacy.

Walk the path of the warrior.
