The samurai from the early medieval time from Japan, and the knights from medieval Europe had a lot of similarities, and a lot of differences, which I’m going to be discussing. My essay will be talking about how the samurais are more prepared and can handle things under pressure. Some of the things I’m going to discuss in this essay is, which group's training was more effective for preparing warriors and, which group was better prepared for physical and mental trials of battles and war. The samurai from the early medieval time are more effective when it comes to preparing for battles. Not only do samurais prepare physically, they prepare mentally to.

    Nihal Lalwani BBE 29 October 2014 8 History Essay Term 4 Assignment Tokugawa Japan (1600-1868) and Medieval Europe (590-1500) both grew in two separate sides of the world but both of them are similar in ways such as how they were run, their architecture, their warriors and the society. In discussing whether these two civilisations are similar, the research has led me to believe that these two civilisations are partly similar.

    Saigō is the “last samurai” in both Ravina’s book and in Zwick’s movie. The main question remains “was Saigō the last samurai “or is it simply a good title for his deep attentiveness to the “way of the warrior”? Algren acts as if he is the last Samurai, in the movie with the Saigō. Based on historical events there was no Algren and there was a deeper reflection on how Saigō became such a charismatic warrior. This paper will make comparisons from the book and the movie to decipher accurate characteristics and parallels from both the film and the book.

Since the samurai had practiced wielding a sword and fighting with longer than the knight, if the battle had devolved into a sword fight, the samurai would be the victor. It also says that in the same document that, “In their schooling they had physical training.” On the flipside, the knights had not received as harsh training as the samurai, mainly being a squire for a knight and learning from them, and squires were much older than the samurai-in-training who were children. And while the knights did start their training at 4 and 5, the beginning of their training focused on riding a horse (which also had to wear armor because of ranged weapons, meaning that even the horse was slow).
