Why you wouldn't SURVIVE as a Samurai

In an era where instant gratification is commonplace, imagine trading your touchscreen for a sword, your loungewear for armor, and your 9-to-5 schedule for an existence ruled by honor, discipline, and the impending threat of death. Oh you think you can handle it? You think you're tough because you braved a week of camping, or fought off a flu without medicine? Welcome to the brutal yet fascinating world of the Samurai, an existence so harsh and complex, chances are you wouldn't survive a single sunrise.

One day my brother looked at me and said " do you know what I'm thinking " and I said " that we would have made great Mongols" he said "absolutely but I'm thinking we should get something to eat "😂😂😂

There is a very simple reason why you wouldn't survive as a samurai. Samurai *we're not supposed to survive* , they embued death. They meditated on it everyday, they welcomed it and always chased it. But that too, they fought.

There's a difference between seppuku and harakiri. Harakiri is a serimoniol suicide that you do to attone for a serious mistake or offense and it is done in front of your dimyo. seppuku is done usually in battle to avoid capture or humiliation but there is many differences between them

Great post. But you didn't mention William Adams an English Sailor who came to Japan in the 1600s and became Miura Anjin a samurai and advisor to Tokugawa ieyasu. His story was depicted loosely in the miniseries Shogun back in the 1980s. There are books written about him such as the First Englishman in Japan by PG Rogers and Anjin the life and times of samurai William Adams as seen through Japanese eyes by Hiromi Roger's. Still an interesting video.

Fun fact: the founder of Mitsubishi sold his family's Samurai lordship to settle debts and start his trading company.

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

That’s such a gross mis interpretation. He settle his debt by selling off his family samurai lordship . But no starting capital to start Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi come much latter . And a combination of Yamauchi and Iwasaki ( so called the founder of Mitsubishi)

[@ducktheseraph]

@@sofjanmustopoh7232 alright well I didn't have all the facts straight, but in the same spirit. How long is the gap between them selling the lordship and starting the company?

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

@@ducktheseraph the great grand father sold off the lordship after the Great Tenmei Famine due to debt accrued . Samurai family has to keep up appearance and get tribute from farmer but samurai CANNOT be a merchant or make money during that time . It would be unbecoming conduct of a samurai. Around 1790 the great grand father sold off the lordship to settle the debt . 1870 is when the predecessor of Mitsubishi was formed by Iwasaki Yatarō . He was working under Yamauchi ( samurai family ) clan . It is the Yamauchi capital joined with Iwasaki small capital and extreme hardworking that bring Mitsubishi to be one of the 4 big Zaibatsu . Zaibatsu = Chaebol ( Korea , like Hyundai , LG , etc )

"The Way of the Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one’s aim is to die a dog’s death is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one’s aim. We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like. But not having attained our aim and continuing to live is cowardice. This is a thin dangerous line. To die without gaining one’s aim is a dog’s death and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this." -Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
