The Legends of the Elite
Hey all Samurai and Ninja enthusiast out there! I have found the ancient Ninja weapons and Samurai weapons very intrigueing, so, for anyone else out there who has also, I’ll be posting what I’ve found on them and their ancient wielders. Here’s a quick breakdown of the two groups:
The Samurai: elite warriors, fiercely loyal to the Shogun and unswayable from their cause. Known for their focus on loyalty and honor as well as their unsurpassed combat abilities, the Samurai were not someone you’d like to have as an enemy.
The Ninja: The Ninja is still deeply enshrouded in mystery and its true origins are unknown. However it is generally believed they were either elite death commandos for the Shogun, a private group of guerrilla soldiers who banded fight the Shoguns or mercenaries for hire.
Though, in my research I have found that half of the effectiveness behind these two select groups was the legendary weapons they utilized.
Despite the similar appearance, design, and origin of many of these way cool weapons, they are very different. Each group was equipped for the rigors for their own occupations. The weapons of these two warrior classes were nothing alike, yet one was no less deadly than the other.
Be sure to come back soon and check out my next posts! I’ll be writing on the main weapon of these warriors-their swords.
