Description
Sometimes the sword is more useful than the pen.
A samurai dojo trains young men in the traditional duties of their class. It enables the recruitment of units and agents of the traditional, Japanese kind. Even after centuries of peace, samurai were the only class in Japanese society allowed to carry arms as a matter of duty. Indeed, they were required to wear a pair of swords precisely as a public declaration of their social class. Despite the lack of warfare, and possibly because they had no genuine need to act like warriors, the samurai remained jealous of keeping their perquisites and privileges. There was a determination to keep their skills current, and to make sure that new generations learned them. The relentless march of the hob-nailed future that Europeans and Americans brought only made some more determined than ever to keep to the old ways.
