Fun Fact: The Printing telegraph, the first fax machine, was invented in 1843, Abe Lincoln was assasinated in 1865, and the social caste of samurai was abolished in 1867 during the Meiji Restoration Meaning there was a 22 year period where a samurai technically could send a fax to Abe Lincoln

In admiration of Japanese culture, I would be grateful if Shogo can inform about the torii. Since I've visited Japan, I find them fascinating. Explained in a Shogo style story would be wonderful.. Arrigato Goizaimas Shogo.

@pyrrhusofepirus8491 2 года назад

11:10 I guess there was something similar in the West with Knights. There were these ‘Knights of Poverty’, who were equipped but were willingly poor, living almost monastically, due to religious devotion and belief that humbleness was the greatest virtue. An example I can think of are the Knights Templar, in order to become a Templar Knight you had to give everything to the Templar Order, your lands, your money, everything, you had nothing to your name afterwards. So you could devote yourself fully to the Christian lifestyle, discipline and the Templar Order. A famous symbol of the Templars were two knights on the same horse, because they had to share the horse because they were poor. It also meant the Templar Order itself were extremely rich.

@Mortablunt 3 года назад

Responses to 2) There are contemporary books written during the time of the samurai about them and warfare. One is Hagakure. The other is The Book of Five Rings. Romantic Nationalism was in vogue in Europe in the late 1800's. It was a time all the different countries created national folklore and heroes. England got King Arthur, Germany had a big thing about its knights, France clung to Charlemagne. The Japanese romantic national heroic myth was the samurai. It was the creation of national identities and a sense of shared history and values. 5) Thank you so much for addressing spears, bows, and firearms.

Inazo Nitobe wrote the book bushido, so that the western world would be introduced to the “ Soul of Japan” . His own country , Japan, criticized the book when it was published. Yet it gave the western countries a very good idea of the Samurai class. Inazo was from a family of samurai, seventh level. It is written in his biography that at the age of seven he missed wearing the

Has sense that, in battelfied, the Uchi-katana was the last weapon, is short, needs few space to use and was designed for very close combat, the nodachi and another long range weaponry are more suitable to use in battefield. Also, Tokugawa prohibited the Nodachi in 1617 , the legend says that one of his uncles died by an accident with a nodachi

@dunklerwanderer3681 3 года назад

This is very good and informative video. that bushido was written so late was new to me. a few additional information i hope you enjoy the image of western chivalry or the western knight in general is a product of idealization during the romantic era so also has very little to do with reality in the european middle ages apart from a few small details, the european knights had to struggle with the same problems as the samurais - the equipment (armor, weapons, horses) were so expensive that many had to hire themselves out as mercenaries or bandits to pay their debts - the sword of the knight was in reality only the third or fourth weapon and more a symbol first there were used also helebard muskets, crossbows or war hammer and from someone who has been training this for years in the fight against opponents in armor, a sword is relatively useless
