The Asuka period (538–710 AD) in Japan marked the early foundations of the samurai class. While samurai as a distinct group emerged later, the era saw the consolidation of the Yamato state, the influence of Buddhism, and the rise of a warrior class employed by the government. These early warriors helped shape the military culture that would develop into the samurai tradition in later periods.
