The samurai era in Japan, specially during the Kamakura Bakufu period, was the height of human civilization as we know it.
In no other place or point in history, has mankind developed such a refined sense of honor, loyalty and self sacrifice. There's also a whole artistic and humanistic movement that towers over the so called renaissance period.
A samurai warrior was not only a master of the sword (katana), but he was skilled in the bow, hand to hand combat, and well versed in poetry and religion. The samurai armor provided protection but also movility. An experienced samurai could easily take down a mounted western knight in full armour with a single blow.
If it weren't for the interference of the gaijin (european foreigners) and the introduction of honorless weapons (gun powder) that ultimated resulted in the Sengoku jidai (age of civil war), the samurai way of life, also known as Bushido, would have perdured even to this day.

It wasn't in Russia, so you are wrong by definition.

They were idiots who threw away their lives for rulers that treated them like trash. What horseshit.

So could most spearmen
also China distributed gun powder weapons way before Europe showed up

This, katana's won't do shit against plate armor + ringmail, while axes and maces would make quick work of samurai armor.
