Japan To-do:

I think we can do better then Westbrook and Ratti for a reference. Also I think samurai were the equivilent of a knight - they themselves were not nobel. I removed several supositions.Peter Rehse 05:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I am a student at The University of Texas taking a postmodern world history class and according to both my professor and my text book the Bushi were actually warrior elites/leaders who built up their own armies of mounted troops, or samurai. The Bushi class were the leaders of the samurai.

The two terms (bushi and samurai) are generally interchangeable especially pre-Tokugawa. Bushi really refers to any of the warrior class that were not noble. I personally don't like the second paragraph - maybe we should just remove it. Could you quote the book where it says the bushi led the samurai including the title and author. That would add to the article nicely.Peter Rehse 02:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you have a good point - I re-wrote it a bit and removed the Westbrook and Ratti reference (its know to be tripe).Peter Rehse 02:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
