This is why I LOVE these episodes in 'A Day in the Life'. You guys don't just give a view into the past, you don't just teach it to us, you present it in a way that tells a STORY. A story of a person who may very ell have truly lived in that day and age, learning their hopes and dreams and daily lives. You make learning genuinely FUN in a way I've only seen matched by Extra Credits, Extra History and Cracked. You guys are awesome!

The military dominate government and the ritual sacrifice are such awful traits from samurai culture so many hold in high regard. Confusion ism is also a mess too. They were just very focused. Any person who is focused on a goal can accomplish great things. Not just samurai Japanese culture.

I'm no Japanese. But I wish to learn more about their routine in being a swordsman and learning literary arts cuz I found it fascinating.

His wife and children live in the capitol full time to serve as hostages to prove his loyalty.

I'm pretty sure the short sword was used indoors. A longer sword took longer to draw and could be unwieldy in confined spaces.
