Brilliant video. I had absolutely no idea about the different sects of Japanese society when samurai were around. It's really interesting learning about this and the acts that you mentioned. I especially appreciated the memorial at the end. Id like to visit a few of these places
The American horror film Annabelle Comes Home shows a scene where a samurai armour and equipt displayed in the Warrens' room for cursed objects.Another website explains that it once belonged to a tsujigiri samurai
Not Kenpo. Just adding for clarity. The person who actually faced Musashi is named as Yoshioka Naotsuna, who is the fourth heir in line to the Yoshioka house. According to the “Yoshioka-den” (by Michisuke Fukuzumi), an official record kept by the Yoshioka house published in 1684.
During the edo period most low class samurai were very very poor due to the lack of wars. Many became bandits robbing ppl in the country side. Also interesting detail about the laws you mentioned although they made the practices of killing animals they still had butchers but they were of the lowest of the lowest class. This was due to the religious beliefs at the time and are very similar to the untouchable caste in India. Most of the time they had to live outside of town in hamlet villages. Their caste was referred to as the Burakumin. This also how they made leather during the edo period.
yeah a samurai who killed a man in public was still financially liable and had to pay a fine, similar restrictions to that of their European counterparts. The myth of knights and noblemen pestering the commonfolk for giggles is bc of modern perceptions of class.
The samurai killed civilians quite often. A reason could be as simple as "he said my wife was ugly" there's quite a bit if records for shit like this . The witness was mainly there to veryify the insult. OR if it was a duel between samurai, the witness needed to verify it was a fair fight, meaning no sneak attack, and you told the opponet "i am coming "
While Japan is happy to market Samurai as part of its' cultural image, because the rest of the world is intrigued by the warrior class, their own perception of Samurai is much darker and the Japanese consider them to be very corrupt and vicious people.

Similar to pirates, they were originally employed by the many kingdoms in Europe but later, during peace time, they were out of jobs and they turned to piracy..
Not all of them, and it's still debatable how many samurai performed tsujigiri. "The tradition" itself was considered a cowardly and crime act, and it was happen during Japan's chaotic civil war.
I doubt they were put on a horse if they were condemned! Only if they were respected would they do something like give the condemned man a horse to ride while everyone else walked! The horses were owned by rich people poor people used themselves or cattle for work and to pull things even pulling plows by human power because they couldn't afford a cow or horse or the livestock was owned by a lord and was considered worth more then a commoner who was usually a thrall or serf and not a freeman!
One of the things that contributed to the wildness of the American Wild West was the end of the American Civil War. The Civil War flooded the country with cheap guns, and people who could not get used to peace again went west.
That is an incredible misstatement of historical facts. The "Wild West" was nowhere near as wild as the movies made it out to be. The sensationalism of tabloids at the time did their part too. The west was a harsh life, but you had more trouble with wildlife that you did with most people. As far as the guns are concerned, they all had guns before the Civil War and continued to do so afterwards. The 2nd Amendment saw to that long before any war ever did.

Interesting there is a Pokémon attack called Night slash which in Japanese is called tsujigiri. And it’s also a dark type move
In Japan, Dark types are just called Evil too. Makes you wonder.
@@bensantos3882 yes makes sense why nightslash ( tsujiguri) is considered a dark (evil) move
That's interesting.

With a voice like the commentator in this video im pretty sure he smokes 4 packs a day and washes it down with 4 bottles of jack daniels whiskey 🤣🤣
Oh, he’s probably a crackhead 😂😂
Beautiful story❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

he was ruthless and a killer though a youth of twenty four and the number on his saya numbered one and 119 more

江戸時代に侍が盗賊？
なぜこんな嘘を吹聴するのでしょうか
@user-xh6mk9dc1m I'm sorry I don't speak japanese but if there's something I need to correct let me know
Huh, never knew that
For armed samurai to kill each other is one matter, but for samurai to kill unarmed townspeople is unforgivable.
yeah a samurai who killed a man in public was still financially liable and had to pay a fine, similar restrictions to that of their European counterparts. The myth of knights and noblemen pestering the commonfolk for giggles is bc of modern perceptions of class.

The underclass needs to be kept in its place and it always has
So you mean the public testimonies about it are all lies? Nice perspective.

That's a stupid reply and shows bias

Song at the end?
This song is the Japanese children's song "Sakura Sakura."

Surprisingly, they were samurai- really? You mean the only people who could openly wear swords were the ones swinging them?
"known for their moral code"... so, sure. surprisingly. no one's common image of samurai is "criminal".
Yes samurai 😂
That's wild
Did it ever occur to them to just call it murder?

意味不明。
武士とサムライは同じ意味です。
Weirdly reminiscent of the Spartan Krypteia.
I remember this Samara movie a town drunk annoyed a samurai and he cut him down like a dog. Pride and anger not a good combo.
Go to anywhere in the UK now . London . Knife crime is out of control. It happens in the day time . The people have lost it .
Go anywhere in the USA now. Washington DC. Gun crime is out of control. It happens in the day time. The people have... Wait.
WHAT !! You mean that diversity is not working out for them !!! 😳😳 who would have known 🤔
@@johnberry2877 yep . Lmao
Cultural enrichment
Too bad there's no 2nd Amendment over there.
This explains why the japanese were so cruel in ww2.
Korean conscripts were the cruel ones
@karlangeloperez7086 and what flag did they fight under?
@@Lam-ba-Lam Both are cruel.
The British were no better after hundreds of years of colonial rule with disregard for life.

A man needing a lot of money for the woman he wants to see, the more things change the more they stay the same.
Kiru/Kill is a movie about this
Technically, The first Samurai SIMP. Hitting up civs to spend on OFans mod. Sheesh
When Samurais visited Europe they can't practice killing commoners like they used to back in Japan
but Saracens still do it
The samurai were scum.
Some where. Some weren't.
