Buke (Japan)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buke (武家) can be defined as "A martial house or a member of such a house"(Samurai). However, the term Buke is more closely translated to law or governing authority. Simply stated, Buke is used when describing an individual or group of individuals that have authority.(Mass)
