Subgenre
Samurai
The samurai subgenre, also known as chanbara, features the samurai warrior class and their way of life. These stories explore themes found within bushido, or "the way of the warrior," a moral code that guides samurai attitudes, behavior and lifestyle. Often set in feudal Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), samurai stories depict the tension between tradition and modernization, the struggle for power and justice, and the decline of a traditional way of life.
