attn: asian people, i need advice-desu

[RustyMonkey]

I want to become a pro-samurai san in Japan. I've been trained in kendo for six years, and my sensei (my teacher) said that I am good enough to protect others and uphold the seven levels of samurai-san codes. My question is, where can I get a hand crafted katana? I've got several that are good for practicing slashes, but none that will hold up against well crafted bamboo armor. This is my life's dream, and it is dai-important to me that I succeed.

I speak limited Japanese, but I am learning at a rapid pace thanks to watching shows without subtitles.

I greatly arigato you for your assistance, and I hope you can sempai me in the right direction to achieve my dream.

... I knew a guy in Japan who makes swords. He's won several awards, including top 10 Year Prize for his particular speciality.

... You'll need about $50,000 though.

... 興味があったら詳しく教えてあげるよ。

Pretty lame. If you want to connect with "Asian people," well get your butt over there and meet some.

[muy_thaiguy]

Baka.

Or, if you wish, アホウ

[mpjh]

Hmmm AC/DC. Yeap.

[HapSmo19]

If you were in the room you woul've laughed at that. I guarantee it.

[mpjh]

So. Like that is supposed to bother me. Hap you got a real self-hatred thing going, you need to work on that self image.

I thought the time of the samurai ended with the empire.

Hirohito used his as kamakazi.

[mpjh]

I thought it was an attitude toward life, towards the vulnerable and weak, and lives on in action today.

You have to see the end of the movie:

I have, several times.

... The Samurai were a bunch of ruffian slackers, historically. At least from about 1650 on.

[mpjh]

Yeah, so.
