	Description:		Clad in armour and guided by a strict code of honour, Japan’s samurai were more than elite warriors; they were the architects of a society shaped by loyalty, discipline and power. For centuries, these sword-bearing nobles dominated Japan’s battlefields and politics, leaving a legacy that still influences the nation’s culture, values and global image today. The history and culture of Japan's Samurai warriors are being celebrated in a new museum in Tokyo. Visitors can try on armour, hold swords and even have a go at throwing special weapons.
