Samurai Warriors : their filosofie
78
Early Japan Culture
The wisdom of early Japan focused on the usage of their armor as a claim to victory. it came down to the thought process of the individual how they perceived things. If the person took part in the battle with the focus on that they will die, then in reality they will survive the battle. If they are focused on surviving the battle then more than likely they will die in battle.
If the person left their home without a focus that they will not see it again then they will come home again safely. If they think about returning home then they will not return home safely. The warrior must not think about the possible chance that the world changes as that will change their ultimate fate.
The Japanese enjoyed natural and took to it with much delight in visiting nostalgic locations that included forests, the woods, the cliffs, rocky places, shady areas, and complete solitude. They enjoyed the fresh water flowing down from rocks and waterfalls. This helped them to feel a sense of freedom, and quieted the soul.
Samurai warriors followed the bushido code and were known to go by several or a series of names, and each name displays an important significance and descriptive of the warrior. At childbirth they are given a name that they would bear until they become adults. When the samurai is an adult which has been determined at age fourteen by the Japanese people, they receive a name that is combined with the paternal family name, and another that is given as a gift.
Facing death
The views of death by samurai warriors whether is fair or unfair. The view of death by a samurai is owed to a book called Hagakure which was composed in the 18'th century. This was written after the last samurai army had marched into battle.
Through viewing dying in the battlefields, many samurais desired to die by the Real Japanese swords of their enemies or the arrows of someone who had fame in comparison to a common soldier. They also felt that no samurai soldiers were ever safe from the shadow of death while they fought in wars.
Many warriors committed suicide when they were defeated as they did not want to be killed by their enemies. This was a privilege reserved for samurai warriors to do this and it prevented the enemy from killing them and claiming their head as they are dead already. Collecting the head of the samurai warrior is seen as a price and enables the enemy to received many honors for doing this.
Their 'Gardrobe'
The clothing that the samurai warriors would wear consisted of a kimono, and heavier kimonos are worn during the winter seasons. The kimonos were made of silk, which was considered to be superior as compared to other fabrics such as cotton or hemp. The feel and appearance of the fabric allowed for the individual to stay cool during the spring and summer months.
Samurai warriors wore kimono layers and colors that were coinciding with the colors of the station and for the women they wore colors based on the powers that their husbands held. The older samurai warriors wore shades of gray or brown, to shown their age. Their footwear consisted of waraji translated as sandals and wooden clogs known as geta.The clogs were mainly associated with lower class. Bearskin boots were worn during battle
The samurai warriors continued to evolve in their clothing to adjust to ceremonies, traditions, and current styles. The goals were to determine of who was to wear certain articles of clothing depending on what was set for the economic classes.
