I am Japanese. My mother side of my family is from Gunma prefecture and related to Tokugawa family. My father side of my family is linked to a daimyo in Kansai. My father told me that when my father was a child (he was born in 1929), during WW2, some people from the Japanese government went around houses to collect metals to turn them into weapons. He told me that my grandmother (my father's mother) hid the family sword under a floorboard, so it wouldn't be taken by the government. Even though I am Japanese, our history fascinates me.

[@tristanbackup2536]

I'm curious if you or your family still have the katana still. Keep it & look after it well! My Japanese friend in the US has a sword dating back to the 1400s so around late feudal period?the actual blade is old but the handle & guard had been replaced a few times from wear. She's definitely keeping it to past down.

Quick correction: the Tachi or 太刀 was actually the main sword used by samurai during the hoto period. When the katana became more popular, the tachi was still the weapon of high ranked samurai.

[@buddha.awakens9809]

Nah. They weren't used to by any higher ranked samurai...lol why would it? It was longer. Slower to draw and worn cutting edge down. The katana replaced the Tachi because it was preferable and if "higher ranking samurai" did posses them it would ONLY be because their family would have been older and swords were handed down generationally.

You must also understand that to properly wield a katana, you must primarily use your fingers. The artistic training in dexterity and precision with their hands only makes them that much more effective in swordsmanship...

[@Mhike177]

Uhmm that saying came about from modern politicians who basically meant pen can create laws that could jail lawbreakers. Samurai learned calligraphy not to write laws, but to learn discipline and self control. Same idea goes with painting. They would mostly write just a few kanji characters that usually comes out as a word or two. You used the saying incorrectly cuz that has nothing to do with samurai learning calligraphy or painting.

From 11:50 it was just amazing. The background music and narrator explain how they had different weapons to survive a fight quickly. In my opinion Ninjas were the best warriors out of them all. They were the masters of stealth and knew how to hide their presence in plain sight. Just like early Assassin's Creed games. Or the Splinter Cell Games. Or purely speaking, just like Ninja Gaiden games.

[@tn1881]

During the Asuka period (592-710), Shoutoku Taishi (574-627) hired Otomono Sabito as an intelligence officer and assassin.Shoutoku Taishi called him shinobi (meaning anyone who wants to get good information).Otomono was from the Iga region. Hattori clan in the C7, Iga region wore black costumes at the Shinto ritual of Aekuni Shrine.They were called Kurondo (Black Party). In 1180, the Hattori clan participated in the Genpei War as a samurai.They were good at guerrilla warfare. C12, the Hattori clan became the lord of the Iga region in cooperation with the peasant samurai jizamurai and became independent from the shogunate.They became mercenaries in various parts of Japan.They later became known as the Iga-ryu. C14, literary work Taiheiki has a record of Sinobi. In 1578, the Tenshō Iga War began a war between the Nobunaga army and the Iga clan. In the 1600s, it was written as Xinobi in the dictionary compiled by the Jesuits. C17, the creative Sinobi appeared in the popular culture novel Otogibouko. Creative Sinobi such as Sinobi's Goemon Jiraiya have appeared in Kabuki, Joruri, Kyogen and they have become popular. In 1911, the novel Sarutobi Sasuke was published. Since then, Sinobi has appeared in many novels. In 1916, the first ninja movie, Kougaumon, became popular. Around 1920, they were called ninsha. In 1958, the novel Kouga ninpocho was published. In this novel, many ninjya who use techniques like psychic powers appeared. This novel influenced manga and anime. In 1957, the novel Yagyu bugeicho became a movie. Since then, ninjya has appeared in many movies. In 1959, managa's Ninjya bugeichou, Sasuke was published. Since then, ninjya has appeared in many managas. In the 1960s, Onmitu Kenshi, a television series featuring ninjya, was broadcast.This TV series was broadcast in Australia and the Philippines, so ninjya became popular with young viewers. In 1967, the anime series Kamen no ninjya Akakage was broadcast. In 1967, ninjya appeared in movie 007.

The ninjas of ancient Japan were actually called shinobis and would’ve worn common clothing that helped them blend in wherever they were, not the all-black outfit in modern creation. The word “ninja” is a Chinese term and it wasn’t used until the 20th century

[@Shadowman9348]

Actually the ninja had to cover themselves up head to toe in navy blue, brown, grey - rarely black. They did this at night when performing assassinations or espionage so they wouldn't be spotted as easy. They'd only use disguises during the day, which was when they'd collect info on their enemies & targets, and carry out their daily lives.

@@safire822 Depends what you call a Ninja. Ninja or Shinobi no mono is a action, a job. Anyone can do the act of ninja, from peasants to Samurai. Many Ninja groups were Samurai clans that specialized in espionage tactics and certain Arts of sneaking.

There were people who were best at Espionage and assassination that soon taught the schools of Ninja.

@@scaryhours2220 Nioh is also based around a historical event (specifically, the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, its leadup and aftermath). Almost everything that is not obviously fantasy has some historical basis to it. Nioh is also very specifically set in the year 1600. Everything looks the part. The armor is correct, weapons are correct, almost everything is correct. Ghost of Tsushima's portrays history in very broad strokes. It is set in the 13th century but makes effectively zero attempt to portray it and is instead some weird mishmash of things from different time periods. -The armor you start with is fine, actual 13th century armor. The armor on the cover art of the game is not, it is 16th century armor. The mask is too. -Katana is your main weapon in the game, despite being at the very earliest a 14th century invention. -Mongols are seen using a hwacha, which is a 15th century Korean weapon. -Haiku is a prominent side activity in the game, despite the fact that haiku did not exist until the 17th century. -Every samurai in the game carries their swords in the daishou assortment, a long sword and a short sword.

Let me give you a detail of the samurai's arts, bujutsu. Bujutsu is something called an umbrella term martial art, as that it holds multiple different disciplines/arts under its system name, some arts here being umbrella term martial arts themselves. These arts we use is a modernized version of bugei-Jyuhappan(eighteen arts), while staying true to the the kobudo version of these arts. So bear with me, this will get confusing: They are taijutsu(which an umbrella that holds karate and taido) jujitsu(which holds judo, aikido, and sometimes in certain ryu's that teach it to muscular or fat students, sumojutsu), kenjutsu(kendo, battado, iaido, iaijutsu, kodachi, niten ichi ryu and enmei ryu included), jojutsu, sojutsu(one of the forms of sojutsu require using a tabin, which is a small shield), doesnt disclude the sai, ekui, kuwa, tonfa, bo, hanbo, tanbo and other basic farm tools that were used, also a major foundation to disciplines like chen'ato, bojutsu, sojutsu, kenjutsu, and Iaidojutsu), bojutsu(hanbo jutsu, tanbojutsu, sansetgenjutsu), hojutsu is all old(kubudo) and modern(budo) uses in guns are included in this discipline, also goes hand in hand with kayakujutsu, which is coming up), kyudo(kyudo no jutsu) is bow arts, batjutsu(yabusame) is about military horse use, chen'ato is using weighted chains or ropes competently, is also one of the arts that plays as a foundation to kasariagamajutsu), kusariagamajutsu is using both a kasariagama, and the kasari-fundo, which is a chain with iron weights at each end, again this and chen'ato go hand in hand. Finally, were finishing with kayakujutsu. This is the use of gun powder and other thermo-reactive chemicals, or plain hazards(glass, dirt) for different distractive functions(such as glass/spiced infused eggs, explosives, adhesives, and smoke). Some of these arts are shared with bujinkan(ninjutsu, or ninpo), as there are 18 disciplines under the bujinkan umbrella martial arts.

Jujitsu is an umbrella term? Interesting! Thank you for the knowledge.

Fun Fact: I want to state also that kobudo is not really a weapons art. Its any form of art/technique that was prevalent in the 1800's and previous(were talking about 1400 arts that were floating around, unique to its village/state). Budo refers to modern arts after the restructuring and change in border laws that allowed western influences to fluctuate.

How did you learn this stuff ? Books ?

[@tn1881]

In 720, the book Nihon Shoki has a record of Tuwamono no michi (Way of the Warrior) as morals to be observed by samurai. In 1008, there is a record of Yamato damashii (Soul of Japan) in Genji monogatari. In the 13th century, the Kamakura Shogunate enacted the Gosei Shikimoku, a code of samurai morality. In 1575, the word Bushido was written in Koyo Gunkan, a book on military science by the Takeda clan. Military scholar Yamaga Sokou (1622 - 1685) proposed Shido. Yamamoto Tsunetomo (1659-1719) authored Hagakure. Yamaoka Tesshu (1836-1888) wrote Bushido. These were the morals of the samurai, but they were also shared with the peasants through poetry, kabuki, stories, and peasant schools. Inazo Nitobe (1862-1933) authored Bushido The Soul of Japan. Since Nitobe was a diplomat, he was often asked by Westerners about the morals of non-Christian Japanese. Nitobe has written a book about ancient Japanese norms.

You don’t “become” samurai you’re born into it you either are or aren’t

[@martin7002]

But you need to have honour and be able to die for the shogun or daimyo and dicipline your soul what you probably would not

[@thedragonofechigo7878]

@@judgewilson2410 actually, you could've been promoted through the ranks due to diligent service to a lord over military campaigns during Nobunagas time but of course Hideyoshis law prevented this from happening once he came into power. Hideyoshi is one such example himself, he was never born into the samurai class but he served Nobunaga diligently.

[@jonathansmith7228]

The documentary for the most part is true except for the Ninja not using Busido. They did used it amongst each other within the clans. Ninja's didn't fight by a code like the samurai did as they knew that in a true fight the only necessity is survival. Many were great people that secretly faught corrupt leaders...just like today.

Miyamoto Musashi: In Memoriam. The Ninja and the Ronin fascinates me. The Outcasts in all cultures I can resonate with because I can understand not belonging to Society, yet I don’t care if I do or not. I always do things my way on my own terms. Magic is fascinating to me as well, yet the Warrior Monks are alright as well. Almost forgot, Japanese Tattoos are highly fascinating to me as well. Arigatou.

I loved this video is a great video however would of been nice to see y acknowledge the first black samurai who was one off the greatest samurais but i’m guessing your gonna do a separate video

[@Vexin980]

He wasn't one of the greatest. He was just a dude. Yasuke really wasn't anything special, just a guest of Oda Nobunaga that he decided to make a samurai.

[@jakeblanco7374]

Nobody cares

[@HailWoden18]

He was not. First black samurai does not mean " A great samurai" No one gaf about him after the short time he was in the service of Oda Nobunaga. Don't know how he died, where he went or anything. He is quite literally a nobody that just had a name attached to him.
