Often referred to as "bushi warriors", these soldiers possessed a vast knowledge of ancient martial arts, combined with the masterful use of the katana sword. Samurai warriors often entered combat holding two katanas, one in each hand, and wearing particular combat masks, as demonstrated by this warrior with a mask that recalls the ancient Kabuki theater of the 17th century.
