Bushidō (武士道, "the way of the warrior") is a moral code concerning samurai attitudes, behavior and lifestyle,[1][2][3] formalized in the Edo period (1603–1868). There are multiple types of bushido which evolved significantly through history.[1][2][4] Contemporary forms of bushido are still used in the social and economic organization of Japan.[1] Bushido is also used as an overarching term for all the codes, practices, philosophies and principles of samurai culture.[5][6][7] It is loosely analogous to the European concept of chivalry, but there are major differences.[8][5]
