BitsnBobs Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Not sword related per se, but is Japanese history. Going through a deceased relatives things at the moment. I found this. It seems to be a scroll from the Russo-Japanese war depicting the military leadership. No idea when the thing was actually made, I thought id post it here in case its of interest to anyone. More than happy to provide more detailed images etc of things if people want them. Would I be right in suggesting that post 1868 the military was probably drawn from the old samurai class? Reasonable chance then some of these guys were the last generation of those that could consider themselves truly samurai? 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted November 28, 2019 Report Posted November 28, 2019 Yes you are right, many of the higher up generals were usually former Daimyo who were subsequently made Prince, Baron, etc after the Samurai abolishment took place. 2 Quote
