During the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries, Japan had no army. (**Imagine** a country without an army!)

So, to protect their estates, Japan’s powerful families hired warriors. These Japanese warriors were called samurai, a word that can be translated to mean “those who serve.”

The samurai were highly skilled as warriors. They were also extremely loyal to the families they served.

If the samurai **were** around today, however, they would be out of a job.

Japan now has an army.
