Just don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

This didnt age well

Love the format of the video. 👌

imagine the same rule in usa. pull out a gun for show and u go to jail

"Barbarians who engaged in street killing" I thought samurai used chonmage, not beards

Bloodclots?

Tell us about japan's African history

16:24 Denmark still votes with pen and paper, too. It's the best method for safety!

Could I possibly train in the ninja arts but use a laito to train?

This video about the history of 47 Ronin reminds me of a Japanese movie that reflects to this historical presentation: Swords of Vengeance (The Fall of Ako Castle) 1975.

As a gaijin I thought the shorter wakisashi was used for the seppuku ritual, not the longer katana... Thank you for teaching me something.

I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you, Shogo-san, for answering a question I have often asked myself. Your voice is very pleasant to hear, and the words are so well spoken and informative! I wanted to share my thoughts regarding the added sound effects whenever a new text appears on the screen. I perceive these sound effects as noise, and I must admit that they distract me from the spoken words. I also admit that I am challenged by issues of mindfulness! Likewise, I do not wish for this minor critique (i.e. my noise) to distract from the fact that this is excellent content!

Shogo is so right. The garden js truly a different feeling altogether. Time almost slows, and if you just relax you feel like youve entered a whole different world. Its so enjoyable and serene, truly a reset of the mind in the best possible way.

As someone living in a *Religious Freedom* Nation (Although it definitely ain't) Can understand Why - *Nippon* Would do this. Knowing some (which ain't much *Edo period* History) That. They would feel this Way. However i Digress.

As a westerner, we could use prioritizing harmony over progress. We’ve been prioritizing progress over just about everything since the founding of my country

And these days, if you hear the word ‘Shogun’, you think of… Hiroyuki Sanada!

Kind of hard to break into a run then, pretty obvious when someone's not sitting like that, smart. 😂

Swedish and Japanese collectivist cultures are very similar

EXCUSE ME WHAT??

they are symbols and expressions of human dementia. typically asian japanese. in this they are the same.

Interesting. I aways knew it as seppuku, never harakiri. That's new for me!

All this time I thought I wasn't doing it correctly because my legs would fall asleep. Turns out I'm a pro

I really like how you bring up the logistical reasons behind these traditions. I never would have thought about how hard lighting was hundreds of years ago. I remember seeing a similar reasoning for kabuki performer makeup as well.

Based Japan.

Is it because they are secret ninja police?

if it's the same characters, why does the pronunciation change so much just be switching the order of the characters?

Grazie maestro.

It’s really only white liberal americans always trying hard to be offended on behalf of everyone else when really most of the rest of the world don’t really mind 😂

I didn’t like the dance. (Sorry) 😟

A group is at its strongest when it acts as 1, but at its smartest when it thinks as many! Think for yourself, share YOUR ideas and information With others, and listen to the ideas and information of others, and use Them to form YOUR own ideas and conclusions!

Can you talk about how the two cities that were (atomic) bombed where coincidentally the two most christian ones (specifically catholic)?

Japanese beards look epic

Very similar to European swords, at least by the 1400s

I live in Poland and all these characteristics sound very familiar. It's really fascinating how completely unrelated societies developed very similar structuteres.

Yeah but the question is why do you keep to that tradition? Isn’t it the opposite of leg day?

I had practiced Shotokan many years in Miami Fl. USA with a Japanese gentleman and one day I ask him about the "taking off the shoes" thing. He said, cleanliness and also religious reason. When I asked about the religious reason, he said, "not bring evil spirits into home". It makes a lot of sense that prior to most if not all civilizations knowledge and understanding of microbiology that you might put 2 and 2 together to get bring in shoes get sick = evil spirit caused it?

Congratulations Shogo!

What West wrongly compare Samurai to knight. But knights are mostly from 1000 to 1300 ac and the samurai are mostly 200 to 400 years later so in Europe at that time the battlefield was dominated from firearms, so sword fight is not common anymore at that time

I wish I had the inspectors job. "Yeap, he's dead" easy money.

After looking at a list, I think Inazuma Bishi suits me best, but I can't find any information on it. (It has 4 diamonds with spirals separated with wedges.)

Rare kown fact musashi was 30 cm taller than the average japanese man of the time

Id say Bullshido is more of a danger

You gave women rights is your problem

There are a lot of plonkers out there who think they are experts.

7:19 it seems to me that these measures also helps prevent the spread of smallpox. Do we know if that was a contributing factor?

Bunch of goddamn zerglings

We had the helmet and hina dolls! 🎎🎏
