Bushido is a code of conduct for samurai warriors in feudal era of Japan. It is not a conduct that is spelled out, but is passed along through generations of samurai and feuda l lords on how to be a respectful warrior. To be respectful and dignified, one must follow certain guidelines in life. One prominent example is hara-kiri, which is a ritualistic self extermination that expresses the highest form of responsibility for one's conduct. A feudal lord would rather kill himself before being killed by his enemies to save from disgrace. Although bushido itself died off after modernization, the conduct is still an essential part of Japanese culture, especially in business.
