The Samurai Handbook for Beginners: A Practical Guide to Japan's Warriors, Weapons, Armor, Bushido, Battles, and Daily Life

By Paul Su

Ever watched a samurai film, played a game set in feudal Japan, or heard the word "bushido" and wondered what's actually true? The Samurai Handbook for Beginners separates myth from history, walking you through the real rise and fall of Japan's warrior class: how samurai power actually began, the weapons and armor they really used, the battles that changed the country, the code of bushido as it truly evolved (not the version you've seen on screen), and what daily life was really like off the battlefield. Written for total beginners, with a full glossary, a 794-1877 timeline, a beginner's samurai travel route through Japan, and a real bibliography for readers who want to go deeper.
