I don't think that was really Oda Nobunaga, he was assassinated in 1582. Earliest camera ever made was in early 1800s. Pretty fake. To get a actual photo of someone of that magnitude would have been astounding.
Here's a lot of townspeople in the mix. It's cosplay for the sake of taking pictures. 1:26 Commoners 2:40 Kabuki actor 3:49 It's tough being an actor, being forced to do like this. This will break the sliding doors before I can get his head off. 4:08 How can there be pictures of people who died in the 1500s? 4:22 Mr. Spock? 4:24 Commoner. 4:32 Kabuki actor 4:34 I laughed at the sword on his back. 4:43 Commoner. The shape of his topknot is different from the samurai. 4:44 Too many interesting parts. I'd like to know why he's putting on the blue obi of women's clothing. 5:21 This is terrible cosplay. ずいぶんと町人が混じってるなぁ。写真を撮るためのコスプレイだわ。 1:26 平民 2:40 歌舞伎役者 3:49 役者も大変だったね、こんなことまでさせられて。これじゃ首を落とす前に襖が壊れるわ。 4:08 1500年代に死んだ人の写真があるわけない。 4:22 ミスタースポック？ 4:24 平民 4:32 歌舞伎役者 4:34 背中の刀に笑った。 4:43 これも平民。髷の形が武士と違う。 4:44 ツッコミどころが多すぎて面白い。女性物の青い帯を巻いてる理由が知りたい。 5:21 酷いコスプレだ。
Wow, the score! I need to get a good samurai history book, any recommendations? I can’t get a grasp on whether they were like police, gangsters, soldiers, all that and more? I bet from looking at these pictures it was a combo but I’m ready to do a deep dive, it’s gotta feel right to commit to a few hundred pages of reading so I need to get a book or 3 quick lol
Its not 2 swords the other one is like a dagger they use for suiciding i think the suiciding is called seppuku. Its like what they do if they lost or have shame.
Its a daisho, set of swords. A katana and a wakizashi. For fighting with 2. Often it wasnt allowed to take long swords inside. Short was okay and they could still protect themselves and it was also for seppuku or harikiri.
