21. Samurai In Action
Samurai fighters were the warrior class associated with medieval times and early-modern Japan. The warrior class served the noble class and from the 1600’s to the late 1800’s they became the highest ranking military and social class. The camera wasn’t invented during the peak of the Samurai, but the culture extended late into the 19th century, which is why there are a few captured in black and white. This picture captured a Samurai in action in 1860.
