Samurai Armor?

I am writing a paper on the relationship between the armor and weapons of a samurai. I know the armor is divided into six different pieces, I do not know how they chose their colors or style? I'm sure that somehow personal, but I can not find it anywhere …. Thanks for your help Edit: Well, then why it looks different designs and colors?

The design was like a coat of arms and to indicate the teachings and religious beliefs and cable color woven into the armor was to identify a clan of the next, also white, one state and the duel was a warrior who believes that the next fight was his last.

Where can I learn the ways of the Japanese samurai?

I am interested in learning about weapons, the proper way to use them, and discipline of the Samurai.'m looking for a traditional educational experience, involving both historical and cultural knowledge. I am looking for a tutor to help me develop my ability to use the Japanese sword, although I have no intention of using the weapon (s) out of practice. I just admire the ways of the Samurai and their culture. I love to travel abroad … especially Japan. But I am an American, and am open to the idea of training and learning here in the U.S. if the cultural experience will not be less than that would find in Japan. Serious replies only, please.

be a samurai is a way of life. I think the only way to really learn is to go to Japan and live in the mountains and live w / real samurai, if you ever accept.

Samurai Sword ?????????????

OK so my brother went to Japan for my birthday and got me a samurai sword authintic warrior who says God, what I expect.

What do you mean by "real samurai sword?" When was it made by who? What is the name of the samurai who had? If it is "true", these descriptions are added to it. If done before the Restoration Meiji sword craftsman, you can not buy less than 3 million yen ($ 33,200 USD) to say the least. Authentic sword has a name not as cheap as a warrior of God.

Guerrero, I have tried to find this out, because for some reason I never tried anything, but the samurai helmet. Many sites talk about what is or is not going through email, Japanese armor but I hear almost nothing.

Due to the different styles of armor, that would be better to see the individual pieces of armor instead of classifying all yoroi as a whole. There are many forms, including lacquered wooden plaques on layers of silk suture, iron plates together with links Maille, and later period pieces solid plate. An assessment will depend on the style tactic that was used, and how it is used. Some had vertical slats armor pieces, and some had horizontal, and would have to adjust your approach based on that, besides the type and thickness of materials. A long spear is generally a good weapon to pierce anything while a sword must be used with much greater accuracy. Basically, when it comes to drilling, we talk about global profile (lower = better profile penetratation.) The larger the profile, the stronger crushing force involved. The weaknesses in the infantry would be typical yoroi neck the armpits, wrists and knees, basically anywhere there is a gap or space in the armor.

Can someone send me the email addresses of Japanese citizens who are interested / collectors of samurai swords?

My late grandfather confided to me one of his personal collection of World War2 Japanese Samurai sword. I have known that the Japanese have been buying back his sword to bring back to Japan.

This is quite complicated … but here are some things to think about. 1. During the war, a select handful of Japanese soldiers took their family swords into battle. When killed many American soldiers picked it up and go home. 2.Also at the end of the war, the U.S. military requires all citizens to surrender their weapons. Many unfortunately melted, broken or simply home by soldiers. 3. Its incredibly Compex to assess the value of some Japanese swords. Many soldiers issued a "factory" made the blade looks very nice, but in terms of real value is a little lower. 4.All swords in Japan must have a stamp inspection in them (except for tourism). You have to take the sword to the police that keep the sword for a maximum of 6 weeks and assessing their value as whether or not someone has claimed ownership, and whether or not its historical treasure has disappeared. Realize that really cannot find out who is really the person or family that formerly owned by the sword. Maybe they can sell to an antique dealer in Japan. It would be very difficult to find anyone in Japan who could help. At some point, the swords have to be checked physically and thoroughly to determine its value. Probably would get more money in Japan for them …. depending on which type of swords they are. I would try to find a trusted dealer or appraiser in the early stages (which will cost some money). I know it sounds crazy, but going to be a trick to get them back to Japan. I am a former collector here in Japan, but to be honest, I do not collect swords …. but I can try and help. Want sell? Are you trying to bring them back to Japan?
