culture

i need any information about the samurai culture so if you had any at all i would appreciate it if you could send it this way. I need information on social organization, family patterns, social classes, customs, traditions, language, arts and literature, religion, form of government and economic system. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not to be snotty, but...

Is that *all*?

Do you realize how many libraries are taken to encompass even a part of this?

Cara:
A couple of very useful websites are: www.samurai-archives.com and
www.sho-shin.com. They both require some poking around to find out
information. I've been researching something for myself about the
samurai, and these two sites have been of GREAT help. Plus, they may
lead you to others which will be of even more help, and have
recommendations for reading, which will help get the rest of the
information.

Later.
