Almost people of the photos were town people. Not Samurai ,except standing and
wearing only Kimono and having 2 swords man. wearing Japanese armor people were town people. Because their hair style is not Samurai style. Japnese
can distinguish the difference of Samurai and casual people. perhaps at the time, foreign cameraman ordered to take Japonism picture to casual people with money. But anyway these photos are important as record.
@425jeonsa Comparing European feudalism & Japanese feudalism I have to say European feudalism & religon was more savage than Japanese fedalism because Europeans had inquisitions, witch trials, crusades & vikings that pillaged towns & villages.
I do not think that most of the photos are actually of the 1867 as most look staged in a modern studio which led me not to enjoy the few real photos. I do not like being duped.
I do not think that most of the photos are actually of the 1867 as most look staged in a modern studio which led me not to enjoy the few real photos. IU do not like being duped.
First 2 photos are not Samurai. Perhaps town people were hired by foreign photographer. Because hair style is town people. Hair knot is different. Ask old Japanese!! or Japanese movie goer.
really sad, you see them, their faces and it kind of explains many other things. the thinking within, becomes clear when you look at the most small details to the entire history, every day to day thing that was done. a carved figure, the clothing and uniforms, a tiny picture, the simple act of tea explodeing into a symphony of detail. everything was given such great meaning through the smallest details possible. yes even the act of war and killing. the photos are sad.
wow, sakamoto ryoma. love that guy. if he didn't exist japan wouldn't be as powerful as it is now, or even if it did become powerful, it would'ev taken a lot longer.
If you see old Samura's photo with one sword, the photo's man is not samurai.Samurai must take 2 swords.short sword is for suicide. Casually Japanese say the suicide as SEPPUKU, but to foreigner we say HARAKIRI. Both are
BELLY CUT. Because both use same KANJI. How to cut belly.
First, it is ceremony. the samurai wears white kimono, and he sit on platform covered with white cloth. he stubbs short sword to his left belly, and cut to right,and sword goes up.Helpercut down his head withno pain.
Samurai is not only warrior but also they were Bureaucrat. csual time they must attend to work in Castle to govern his lord's area. Some samurai should be an accountant for tax income. All samurai had been educated since they were standing
at baby era. Sanurai's work is hard, If he failured his work, he must suicide. Samurai must have 2 swords. Long sword is to protect lord. short is for suicide. Can suicide samurai means honorable. Head cut execution was shame. Suicide needs ceremony.
Sometimes, I would be born in this country and especially during samurai time....I mean samurais wasn't great warriors only, they had much discipline, they was courageous, brave and had no fear to die. And mainly, they had something that a lot of peoples don't care about : honor. They could die for save it, maybe they're dead, but we still have a lot of things to learn from them.
@VideogamePlayerFR First it's not "they was" it's "they were". I assume english language is not your "forte".
Second, You have a very romanticize view of what samurai were and how they behaved. We have countless and countless of descriptions of that era describing samurai doing many dishoronable, cowardly and even treacherous deeds. They were no more courageous or loyal or wise than anybody else. They were just more privileged. Bushido is nothin more than myth and folklore.
@StoneyX123 U know how strong ancient people were !!! They build awesome things like Great Wall and Pyramid ...and shit respect them !!! And Quan Yu the general in 3 kingdoms he even hold a weapon that heavier than ur ass !!! Bitch !!
Japanese loves to fabricate stories behind photos but they could not came up with "bad ass" & "hero" & "big & strong" image of Samurais. They're all look like kiddy dressed like warriors, are they really warriors? Skinny Midget with tiny arms & legs can carry 7kg of Katana and 22kg of naginata? Do you how heavy medieval spear is? or how about composite bows? Anyone with 50kg or less can not shoot arrows from bow effectively, you need to be at least 60kg or heavier
Thease men look so proud.I could only wish we today could feel and be so proud of who we are.Sadly that way of honor,dignity,pride,is all lost into history,never to return.
At 2:54 there is what appears to be a "seppuku" being played out- for those not familiar with what a seppuku or harakiri is, is when a samauri mortally wounds himself with a blade for honor and a fellow samurai stands behind and with a sword, takes his head off- in this pic blood is seen gushing from the upper abdomen...
you can choose to like american culture or not..it is more of peoples low self esteem of feeling they are not modern or progressive...think why text on a cell phone when you can talk???? the whole world wants to feel like they are happening. so much of what we do is feeling to belong..go in the amazon jungle and people are wearing nike..just for they feel this is modern....
The Americans didn't destroy Japanese culture - they were there - but it was the west in general, and the desire of forethinking Japanese and a desire for all things modern that end an era. Japanese culture is as strong as ever if you look for it.
The seppuku picture is the most poignant for me. I've always admired the fact that these men could choose death rather than live with dishonour. It's such a shame that Japanese culture has been polluted by our cheap and empty(now soulless) western culture.
@Soma874 I know, the worlds cultures are dead. America destroyed Japanese culture with their westernization just like america destroyed its native people. two proud warrior cultures destroyed by the pathetic white house.
@RoninAvenger Well to be honest I think The Dutch and The British got there first. Actually a guy called Will Adams(A ship's pilot), who was born in a town near to me was the first westerner to become a samurai during the Tokugawa Ieyasu period.
These photos always remind me of the photographs of the American Indians taken about the same time period. These figures are full of nobility, pride and the warrior spirit, taken in a time when their way of life was ending. There is a certain sadness mingled in that pride, that shows in the eyes. Long Live Bushido!
@duchessofpercy I'm a huge student of Japanese history. Your statements are very true, but I hate how the samurai way of life is wlays portrayed as 100% noble. For the most part they were noble, honorable, and respectful, but not to the lower class. The peasants were often horribley mistreated. Samurai who lost their social status were also often treated poorly. What I'm saying is that it's important to remember both sides of the story. Samurai was more of a social class than anything ekse.
@SeventhSun Like I said, they were more of a social class than soldiers. People were born as samurai, they didn't earn it. Not every samurai was a brave violent warrior. It was more of a social symboly than anything else. Yes there was duty and honor, but it was a code people were born into. The image of every samurai as a noble warrior is a myth...much like the American cowboy.
@SeventhSun Not really. Samurai were the police force. Without them, bandits and the like would have gone unpunished. To bad we don't cyber samurai to kill you. And the ones that killed people out of boredom weren't samurai. They were just trying to be samurai.
@SeventhSun Samurai was not soldier. Surely they became warrior in war time. In casual time they were samurai as bureaucrat. casual soldier was not Samurai. In war time , each clan gather the soldiers from farmers or unemployed samurai as soldier. Samurai means samurau(verb) namely always staying back side
of his master to protect. This is beginning of samurai in AD950s. In casual time they worked in office or in castle as bureaucrat. Some samurai worked as acountant in the castle.
@ilterisbuminkarahan True. A sad day in american history at wounded knee, one european american shoudl never be proud of. The destruciton of our native brothers should bring shame on us. we have so much to learn.
@duchessofpercy u.s just learn a humanity.. imperialism and capitalism are not everything... they can destruction everywhere for more power... but the earth enough for all of us... when i was a child, i love american movies.. im always take a side for american troops in vietnam.. im always want to coffe and donut in my country.. and then im growed up.. and im learn to dies... i just hate u.s with everything about them..... just hate...
If anything earlier this year we people of the earth learnt that the old Japanese ways are more than needed in today's world, full of challanges, yet lacking character like never in history of humanity to rise to these.. . I'm afraid the challenges will only get more.. challenging.. with time, and that sooner than expected.
Let's all try to learn from our past!.. as there isn't much in the present worth looking into - our survival as a species may depend on these "past" lesson
Unfortunately, now we almost all of japanese have no face to show our ansestors in the after world. Japan immediately loses it's power empowered by Samurai and other heros.
But there is no use in complaining.We will surely get back the pride and the power and interest this world again, support this world and play a role to make the world piece true.
"Unfortunately, now we almost all of japanese have no face to show our ansestors in the after world."
This is true for all of us today, not just for modern Japanese.
I wonder really what is so progressive about the modern world?.. Perhaps the future will force us to reenvent ourselves, to learn from the past, to work on our heads.. rather than to ivent useless crap (pardon my language) like cellphones that can also take pictures, sing, film, go on the net.. soon to make love for us.
2:56 seppuku THE REAL DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR. It's not just a lame played out saying that everyone has made it into. It once was a way of life. TALK IS CHEAP
Samurai were those who serve the lord for their life and live life by the way of their honorable sword. Samurai's spirits are very tough too. well, because LongBowKatana said about Japanese and Koreans, they are very alike (culturally and linguistically) but they sort of hate each other for historical reason. But I can tell you one thing about both people (or I say about those who are skilled in fighting) can fight very well. Watching K1 or MMA could tell you a lot about Japanese and Koreans.
I'm a Korean who were born in Japan. LongBowKatana probably meant Korean "Ssaurabi". It's a Korean term meaning 'one who fights'. (Samurai is a Japanese term meaning 'one who serves') Although 'ssaurabi' were the warriors of Baekje (one of ancient Korean nations) who could have fought like Samurais of old japan, it's said to be just a vocal legend. Korean martial artists use these words to strengthen up Korean's fighting spirits though, but they are totally different to Samurai.
A Great proud race of people. I admire the Japanese and there Samurai protectors. The Samurai are gone now as will the English race disappear as we are invaded by immigrant locust shit. Gokouun o inorimasu. Arigato gozaimasu. Sayounara .
With due deference to all, I have submitted a video response - it is a clip of a demonstration of Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu Bujutsu - a koryu martial art whose grandmaster is a samurai and can show it's lineage back to samurai times. I hope those of you who appreciate Japanese culture enjoy it.
the most important thing of "Samurai" is not only their looks or sword, armor whatever you can see but their spirit. Please read "Bushido" written by Inazo Nitobe.
@Ellexhirion Yeah mainly due to diet, I think average height for a japanese at the time was 5'2- 5'4...... I am 6'3 prolly mainly due to a more western diet and good luck.
@TheFreshmeat31 Why do you even come back to a japanese samauri video if you hate it so much? Is your life really that horrible? Are you trying to prove a point? If so why not just aleast tell us your point, rather then make comments that have no value.
Apenas com as fotografias os homens puderem se ver realmente. Apenas animais bípedes de olhos e bocas. Bocas que as vezes sorriem. O passado distante parece não transparecer que as pessoas ali tinham almas e sonhos. Os olhos do mundo nesta foto. A eterna incógnita do que será o amanhã.
the samurai dosnt disappear, i practice karate and my sensei is a samurai, but you (and i) cant be a samurai becose to be a samurai you need be desendent of samurai
Very nice and emotion! 8) At least, for me anyway. Pity photos could not be taken in the 16th century...But I never knew Ujisama Hojo said that! 8D Wow..how nice..^^
@TheFreshmeat31 People's stupidity never seizes to amaze me. If you cared enough to look into it, you`ll realize that Japan has one of the most fascinating historical events ever.

Perhaps the future will force us to reenvent ourselves, to learn from the past, to work on our heads.. rather than to ivent useless crap (pardon my language) like cellphones that can also take pictures, sing, film, go on the net.. soon to make love for us.

Samurai were those who serve the lord for their life and live life by the way of their honorable sword. Samurai's spirits are very tough too. well, because LongBowKatana said about Japanese and Koreans, they are very alike (culturally and linguistically) but they sort of hate each other for historical reason. But I can tell you one thing about both people (or I say about those who are skilled in fighting) can fight very well. Watching K1 or MMA could tell you a lot about Japanese and Koreans.

I'm a Korean who were born in Japan. LongBowKatana probably meant Korean "Ssaurabi". It's a Korean term meaning 'one who fights'. (Samurai is a Japanese term meaning 'one who serves') Although 'ssaurabi' were the warriors of Baekje (one of ancient Korean nations) who could have fought like Samurais of old japan, it's said to be just a vocal legend. Korean martial artists use these words to strengthen up Korean's fighting spirits though, but they are totally different to Samurai.

With due deference to all, I have submitted a video response - it is a clip of a demonstration of Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu Bujutsu - a koryu martial art whose grandmaster is a samurai and can show it's lineage back to samurai times. I hope those of you who appreciate Japanese culture enjoy it.

At 2:55, if this is a real photograph, there is a man committing seppuku with his second behind him ready to sever his head.

It proves he is a redneck douche bag who needs his head severed by a 5-body katana.

the most important thing of "Samurai" is not only their looks or sword, armor whatever you can see but their spirit. Please read "Bushido" written by Inazo Nitobe.

Apenas com as fotografias os homens puderem se ver realmente. Apenas animais bípedes de olhos e bocas. Bocas que as vezes sorriem. O passado distante parece não transparecer que as pessoas ali tinham almas e sonhos. Os olhos do mundo nesta foto. A eterna incógnita do que será o amanhã.
A lua se vê no poço
O poço contém a água do céu
O poço contem o universo e a lua.
Minha homenagem aos honrados samurais das fotos.
