The graves of the 47 ronin at Sengakuji are near my house, so every now and then we walk over and pay them a visit. The most surprising aspect is the wide range of ages of the men (which are written on their tombs). They are as young as 16 but also there are ones in their 70s.

I’m kind of dissapointed with the way the samurai are described in this. They weren’t all obsessed with death, nor was killing their only skill. They were just as focused on life as they were anything else. The way of the warrior wasn’t created to end life, it was created to foster it. Peace through military rigidity. They spent just as much time on the esoteric and philosophical arts as they did combat. They weren’t just mere warriors created to kill. Other than that this is a really great vid. You definitely need to do a bit more research on who the samurai were, and look at someone like Tomoé Gozen for example. As accomplished as she was martially, she was just as focused on the spiritual side of things as well. Bushido should be shown more and credited more.

Yes, because Japan was influenced by China in ancient times, many samurai and aristocrats understood literature and art. Samurai are not killing machines. They usually fight for their territory and family. When not at war, they will discuss and create like writers.

@@georgemargaritis2392 you need to study more than just basic literature that’s presented here in the west. Actually take a look at their history, their past, they were just as devoted to the arts even more so than war. Christ it’s like talking to a six year old. There are so many texts from the Sengoku Jirai period (Japans warring states era similar to Chinas) that show even in the midst of war they put a high value on the spiritual and the arts. Even Miyamoto Musashi dedicated as much of his time learning about life and art as he did about the sword. If all you’re going to do is base level research and look at one particular aspect of their history, you’re not going to get the full picture. Some of the best poets and painters have come from Japan and from the various periods where Samurai were well established and known as the military caste.

Their so called expert had idea about how an ancient katana. The steel is called Tamahagane which is quite homogeneous do the folding and welding. The technique of building the blade out of different grades of steel to have high carbon on the edge, soft core and medium spine didn't come along until the 1900s when modern mono steels became available. I know better then to look at Timeline productions.

Politeness is by itself in the center and written slightly higher... The last three are in the third column.... Even with the first column... Politeness was considered to be the greatest & most important which is why it was written more prominently in the center and higher than the rest...

Japanese steel was notorious for being brittle and has always largely been considered shit by anyone who has any experience in metallurgy...

It's a good documentary but there are two points of criticism: 1) I'm quite sure that Japanese people won't agree to bushi being all about death. It's a gross oversimplification 2) The already long refuted myth that the Katana is the best sword and had the best steel there ever was. A european medieval longsword can perform the same as a Katana. And on directly trying to cut each other the Katana will be distorted to almost unrecognizable shape. But I do agree that the Katana is an ingenious piece of art and design with elegance and beauty, that is also up to its task as a deadly efficient weapon.

I am so glad they mentioned samurais used spears, blows and arrows, clubs, axes and other types of weapons after overpraising the katana. The primary weapons of the samurais in combat was not the katana but most often the bow and arrow and the spear, and later on, primitives black powder rifles. In fact, during combat if a samurai has to resort to using the katana, it is usually because he/she (and yes there were female samurais) screwed up badly somewhere during the fight.

This was a well kept secret up until recent times but It was really supposed to be 48 Ronin but one of them died from debilitating foot fungus, (also known as athletes foot) while traveling to the targeted emperor’s palace. It was said that the 48th Ronin wore a pair of Air Jordan 1’s and he came down off his horse with itchy foot syndrome and inevitably lost his life. Having Itchy feet might have altered history in unforeseen ways.

Seppuku is misrepresented in this video. It's not about showing enemies that "you cannot kill me even I am defeated". In fact it's the honor given by the enemy to the defeated to kill himself because Samurai were taught to "honor your enemy". Samurai tried to treat their enemies with honor. It's not about being cocky "You can't kill me". I am very disappointed that Timeline made this video about Samurai when they know nothing about Samurai. I discontinued watching this video at this point because I highly doubt the rest of the content.

This is as bad as Netflix 'Age of the Samurai: The Battle for Japan'. There are other channels that give a more simplified and accurate description of samurai. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to have read that samurai had ceased wearing the traditional armor almost 100 years prior. After Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the last of the Toyotomi loyalists and was affirmed as 'shogun', the Sengoku Jidai had ended. Armor was thus, no longer necessary.

Who on earth made those supposed single-layer kimono and hakama? Clearly, they’re from some British thrift shop, likely imported from Vietnam, if not simply made by a British or Chinese seamstress from embarrassingly gaudy rayon. Likewise, the parchment paper is of ridiculously poor quality, and the text clearly was printed out with a printer rather than written cursively with a brush. I love Timeline, but the production value of this video was so embarrassing that I eventually had to just listen without watching.

It's surprising to hear that revenge is still heralded as a virtue in Japan, or at least that is the impression given by the end of this short documentary. In Edo Japan, the 47's actions are a consequence of desperation, and it seems like given the facts as recorded by historians, they took liberty with how they interpreted their master's death. If vengeance in and of itself is a virtue, regardless of context or circumstance in Edo Japan, that's an interesting insight.

Having lived in Japan for decades, I can’t really say revenge (fukushu in Japanese) is integral in the society at all. I do notice it’s strong in Chinese society right up to the present.

@@KennethWedin Thanks for the clarification. This documentary to me encapsulates, if anything, how inflexible behavioral traditions of Edo Japan often clashed with one another to the point of death. What started with critiques of social etiquette led to bloodshed, then death, just as another critique of etiquette - only this time, from the perspective of the 47 ronin - did the same. The narration romanticizes the efforts of the ronin, but it is still unclear whether that romanticism is representative of the cultural milieu then - or even the historical literature - or whether it is just the editorializing of the writers. It should be a little more clear on that front, especially when presenting history of a culture one is not native to.

I visited their burial site in the early 2000s. I also took a tour based off the Ako Vendetta. After Miyamoto Mushashi it's my favorite historical type thing based in that amazing country. I'd love to go back but the traveling from the far NE of the US to Japan is pretty rough for someone who isn't great on flights. Which is a bummer because the countryside there is prob one of my favorite places I've visited outside the US. Tied with Guam and the Caribbean. If I do decide I can put up with traveling such a long distance with the idiots(travelers and TSA clowns) and mega jet lag(and fear of those Boeing jets might fall apart like they have been so much lately)I'll be going to Norway/Scandinavia where my family is from. I've always wanted to ride on a Viking longship in a fjord...

It wouldn't be like drawing a gun in Buckingham Palace because the punishment wouldn't be 100% definite for anything done in Britain. And it had absolutely happened before during the same shoguns reign! Those are two facts. What isn't a fact at all is what happened after the affair at the palace, because there was nobody left to tell the tale.

It's funny all the Japanese historians I've heard explain the rituals like sepukku differently. Like bleeding out over 3 days. Everything I've every seen they let a swordsman decapitate after the cutting to end them quicker so i assume rarely did they have someone bleed out for 3 days.

The obsession with death is not factual.The obsession is to one self and one’s pride and dignity.Death before dishonor.They just so happen to be excellent mercenaries.but to be a samurai is MUCH more than just killing and being obsessed with killing.

Sorry, but as an anthropologist working at a university in Nagoya, Japan I will say thay this documentary is not very good. From bold statements with no factual basis, to showing images of random castles and temples while talking about a place completely different. Even the opening introduction is a strange statement. And it is crazy how British people struggle with Japanese pronunciation. My coworker who is from England, is amazing at Japanese. However his pronunciation of japanese vocabulary make me cringe.

Isn't samurai's belief is to try to solve a problem without having to unsheathe the katana? That is to have utmost self control and not "bloodthirsty deathmachines" as the vid describes them? I hate all this British documentary lingo of trying to make all their descriptions as viscerally over-exaggerated to the point of becoming just incorrect and fearmongering makes me so uninterested.

There is so much wrong with this and so much exaggeration. No it was not the best sword, no it didn't take 3 days to bleed to death. You were decapitated in a very specific way by one of your closest friends or relatives seconds after you made the cut. Kind of disappointing to be honest, you could have been just historically accurate but you wanted to make an action move instead - at least by plot.

This is a very good cultural , historical documentary on a specific Japanese group. The 47 Ronin. I needed to do a little research on the 3 warrior groups: Samurai, Ronin and Ninja, bc I did not know what the important differences are. Connected, but completely different functional needs bc of the class structure of those times in Japan. Ultimately, I was interested in this particular historical event, bc when this happened,; 1701/1703; it was half a century later than I thought these famous 47 Ronin outlaw warriors were active. I thought this a very well done, presentation, with beautiful scenery, informative notes on the warrior type of equipment, materials, structure and high, unique quality of specific Japanese original creative knowledge and workmanship with steel and other unusual materials. Of that, the warrior equipment, behavior and training, I was glad to see highlighted in this historical story. Whatever was censored and caused a negative backlash, I don’t know about, so this viewing has some valid, interesting, sensitive and useful comments and perceptions in its’ form today. Thank you for reposting!!! 👍🥰
