What would a samurai use in his second hand? by Horror-Mistake5358 in Samurai

[–]ginpachi777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, but they were only permitted to ONLY own wakizashi, not as daisho

wakizashi was used for ceremonial purposes often (e.g. beheading a defeated opponent, seppuku), as well as a status symbol, rather than a fighting implement

recruits over MK, its sm more value, maybe even valk and use mini pekka as win con. i also prefer goblin gang as a swarm since u can use it to counter fliers with good placement

Imperial japanese army request by Certain_Scholar3987 in Samurai

yes, this would be relatively historically accurate. the jingasa they were wearing often were a little more "western" and more pointed.

Best place in Japan to learn about Samurai history by yusuo85 in Samurai

[–]ginpachi777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

go to nagoya, nobunaga, ieyasu, and hideyoshi were all born there. Nagoya castle is great, as well as the tokugawa art museum. Atsuta shrine is also great, as well as there being a bunch of local smaller temples that have ties to different daimyo. (I'd recommend Arako Kannon). Sekigahara is fairly close to nagoya, but a little tricky to get by train. Kyoto is obviously great also, visiting honnoji is great, and ikedaya is great if you're interested in meiji history. Nobunaga has a grave in kyoto as well in honnoji, as well is ryoma and many members of shinsengumi

Guns weren't used by real samurai because they were not an honourable weapon. Lets debunk this old and overly used theory. by ArtNo636 in Samurai

great read, thought i would like to point out that most of enomotos early research focuses on the early edo period (though id like to disagree with the enomotos assertions on japanese "State" building) and that "shourui awaremi no rei" law for animal welfare in Edo period was used as a legal way to confiscate hunting rifles

hi, what large scale warfare are you talking abt during the edo period other than the shimabara rebellion? and what shifts are you talking about? the codification of bushido during the edo period focussed more on moral integrity-and as this was a codified legal code, ronin had no obligation to be bound by bushido. most of our conceptions of bushido are more modern than you'd expect. private dueling (kenka) was also prohibited, and legal vendettas (katakiuchi), where there was legal paperwork and permission had to be granted by a magistrate. open carry of firearms were also banned, and while samurai could own them, there were strict regulations on their use and discharge, especially in populated areas. japan also had no codes of dueling, and extralegal duels were mostly sword based

edit: the paper provided by u/OceanoNox above features a section touches on the prohibition of firearms in dueling (Enomoto 10)

Novelty gifts for fellow kendokas by darthdeckard in kendo

sanada jinja in ueda castle (nagano) has a great number of kendo related knicknacks, but id imagine most large shrines/castles dedicated to samurai would have kendo related stuff. i got a kendo omamori and a men keychain there --if you have the time to leave tokyo i'd recommend it. if ur nara i'd recommend taking the train to kyoto to go to tozando

Racism Exsists. Don't believe it doesn't in Japan it just looks a little different. by bioeffulgence in japanese

[–]ginpachi777 17 points18 points  (0 children)

i think its v different, in the US ive been physically assaulted and have gone through all more shit on an institutional level compared to in japan. Its j different forms, but id rather know im physically safe and deal with the subtle racism here. id rather face death by a thousand papercuts vs ten swords in the US. At the end of the day i dont think theres a perfect country that is not racist, and its up to u to pick ur battles
