As Al Horford continues his stellar first season in Boston, his sister Anna has carved out her own niche on social media. The 24-year-old Michigan resident has become one of the Celtics' biggest fans, and her unfiltered opinion and blunt talk has turned her into a cult hero.
The Samurai were warrior-nobles in Japanese society, with a strong honour code called bushido. The name 'Samurai' means 'ones who serve'. Before the 1550s the Samurai were fierce warriors attached to a daimyo or lord, whom they were loyal to and fought for.
The Samurai were not just warriors: they were (in the EDO Period) administrators, Damiyo (lords or noblemen), men and women both (women were not as common), philosphers and teachers, advisers, etc. Being s samurai wasn't a job, it was a sense of who you were not what you were. Westerners cannot conceive of this concept as there has never been anything in our culture to equate that way of life to. You can study martial arts and become really good, but you still go to work to pay the bills. Samurai were devoted to their way of life such that there was nothing else.
