A source of fascination for over a century and a half, the samurai is now part of our imagination. His figure, his history, and especially his myth, have contributed to making this character one of the historical emblems of Japan.
The remarkable prints and photographs from the Guimet Museum's collections, reproduced here, allow us to discover the richness of the representation of the samurai, as well as the diversity and complexity of their status throughout Japanese history.
