(I) By the 12th century an aristocratic class of warriors
had begun to exercise great power throughout Japan.
(II) Their original center, the military government of
Minamoto, was located at the coastal town of
Kamakura, near modern Tokyo. (III) Known as the
Samurai, they dominated Japanese society for nearly
700 years. (IV) However, as power shifted from civil
aristocracy to a new bureaucratic regime based on
these provincial warriors, the Samurai became famous
for offering security through military talent. (V) The ritual
where the defeated warrior committed suicide with his
own sword was also portrayed in the film The Last
Samurai
