A masterless samurai

Japanese masterless samurai. Because samurai received their livelihood from their lord in return for service, a masterless samurai was essentially a vagabond unless he could enter the service of another lord. Rnin could be disruptive to society; at the beginning of the Tokugawa period (the early 17th century), rnin led unsuccessful revolts against the shogunate. The most famous rnin were the 47 whose actions were celebrated in the kabuki play Chshingura. By avenging their lord's death in defiance of a shogunal order forbidding the vendetta, the 47 rnin, who were subsequently forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide), came to be seen as embodiments of the ideals of bushid, the warrior's code
