I love your videos and I congratulate you for your good work. It gives me a very good idea of how it is that land where my grandfather once lived and I did not and have visited.
I love when people preserve physical pieces of history like this. It's an amazing reminder of the past. It's almost like walking into the past yourself.
very interesting, i thought it was very cool that about 3/4 of the bullets were about a foot off the ground, very smart for that time period, wouldn't expect them to think of something like that, that early in time, awesome video!
@sourcemaster well i assumed they shot low to hit their legs/feet, so that the warrior wouldnt be able to fight as good in battle, or he couldnt get away from the battle outside. just what i thought, i may be wrong
@sourcemaster Well i figured they shot low to hit the feet, or legs of whoever was in the house, causing them to not flee, or so that the warrior couldnt fight in battle, just a thought i could be wrong.
WOW! That is really cool. Is that "Aizu Bukeyashiki" in "Aizu Wakamatsu"? If it is that is definitely on my list of places to go see. Thank you for sharing! Great Video as always!
History is always good! Very interesting! Seeing all those bullet holes you know some of them have probably passed through some people. Japan has had is share of wars in the past like most other countries.
i just find out that by a friend something really interesting from japan... he told me that there are cafe`s, where their workers dress up and act depending on their costume....is this true?.. if it is,, it will be awesome if you make a video about.. thx.
I love historical Japanese houses. I picked up a couple of books on the topic when I was in Japan. I hope to include some of the design elements in my own house some day.
hmm, well most MODERN bullets would have trouble going through a post, a person, and a wall, in fact often they wont even pass through a single person
@navigar666 umm, a rifle is a gun, and back then even if the bullets were big they didnt have smokeless gunpowder or rifled barrels yet, so they didnt reach nearly the same velocitys that modern bullets do...
sorry for that, but I'm not English, so I thought there was a difference... my point being: the velocity matters of course, but isn't the power released and the size of the bullet also important? Also, the saltpeter used back then wasn't very precisely dosed... so the power differences were big...
so now to the vocabulary part^^ what do you call the long guns like a rifle and what do you call the short guns you can hold in one hand?
interesting. slideshow is fine. i liked it. hard to believe there was a time that the Japanese were fighting against one another. so was the culture different than: more outspoken, more aggressive, more combative?
if it passed through the post and then through the wall, it wouldn't have hit anyone unless it did when it left the building. Bullets usually get deformed and change trajectory when they pass through soft tissue.
Looks like the house in the Last Samurai ninja scene. Maybe that scene was based on this house because I think the movie takes place around the same time, when Japan was becoming industrialized.
I remember I visited a couple of Samurai houses in Kanazawa, but either I haven't paid attention or it wasn't there, I havent seen some battle marks left. This video shows me where I can visit next on my next trip to Japan =)
Thumbs Up! I really love to hear about the history of Japan. I went to see one of the Shrines in Kamakura and the great Buddha in Hase. Next stop Tokyo!
Hey mate, very nice video, just wondering do you like in Japan?
You must be quite fond of their culture it seems? :)
