Let's ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto

Күн бұрын

Samurai are very famous around the world.
You too might be a fan of their history and culture, just like I am.
However as you study about samurai, you will most certainly come across “Bushi-do.”
Bushi-do is the moral code of the samurai; the way of how warriors in Japan should act.
“Do” means path or way in Japanese, so that makes sense.
But what is “bushi”? Is it the same meaning as samurai?
Then why didn’t it call it “Samurai-do”?
Today, as a katana sword trainee studying samurai history and culture, I will explain the difference between samurai and bushi.
At the end of this video, I will also talk a little about other terms related to samurai such as mononofu, musha, bushō, and daimyō!

Kind of, but much broader than a rank system. Bushi encompassed all warriors, including samurai and daimyo were all of the samurai class.

Thank you so much! I always wondered the difference because I always hear / read bushi in historical fiction. So, at this point I’m always weirded out if I hear the word samurai in a movie or book. I really like hearing about the cultural context as the dictionary only does so much. (I’m a history nerd.)

Hey, Shogo. I love your content. It's always very well-organized and easy to understand. It's obvious you put a lot of thought into how to present the information. One suggestion I have is to use the Japanese pronunciations for words that have been loaned to English, like "samurai", "karate", or "karaoke". There is no reason why English (and other non-Japanese) speakers cannot learn to say these words properly. I think the reason it is pronounced incorrectly is mostly because people have not been exposed to the proper pronunciation, which is definitely something your videos can do. If needed, you can always insert a line that mentions both two pronunciations and contrasts them.

@joshuaclabeaux1470 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! By complete coincidence, the English word "knight" and the Japanese word "samurai" literally mean the same thing! "one who serves". This literal translation is unique to English (and sometimes German) as knights in other European countries were called something else that meant something different (usually "horseman" or "horse warrior" or something along those lines).

@SalixAcroCat 2 жыл бұрын

Ooo, question for you: why are there so many different ways to pronounce a kanji character? I understand that there's a on'yomi and kun'yomi, but what are the grammatical rules that determine whether a character is pronounced as on'- or kun'-? To add, from what I gathered, the speaker can determine what sounds are associated with kanji (×××Holic's "Watanuki" written as "April 1st" comes to mind): is that the case; and again, what is the grammatical rules behind it?

I'm sorry, somewhere I saw information that father of Okita Souji was "foot soldier". Does it mean he was "ashigaru"? I saw it only in English and there was only the name I forgot, I'm sorry, and then that he was a "foot soldier" and that he died when Okita Souji was around 4 years old. So I don't know much about who he could really be. I'm sorry. Do you think you can find more info? I'm sorry.

So I understand that only a samurai could carry two swords. Does that mean a Bushi could not carry two swords only one? Or was the two sword rule something that came into being in the period of peace after the great wars of the samurai.

@RainMakeR_Workshop 3 жыл бұрын

As I understand it, Samurai became a social class unto itself. Similar to Nobility in the west. Meaning someone could be of the Samurai "class" without being a Bushi at all. For example, the children of a Samurai, are of the Samurai class. But they're just children. So how does one refer to a warrior of Samurai class? and how does one refer to a non-warrior of the Samurai class? Would it be as simple as Bushi No Samurai?
