Thank you for another fascinating video! My husband has always been rather obsessed with the samurai, and you've given me an idea for a gift his birthday next month; I'm going to get him a DVD of Kagemusha. I think he will love it! Looking forward to your next video, as always. 😊💛
Such a cool niche topic: clothes throughout history: I will certainly be back and watch either the one about the romans or about the one about lucrezia borgia in the future 😎 I love that you include the functional ones like what underwear they wore and not just the "fashionable" or "fancy" items
Such an interesting video, I didn't realize how many parts there were to a samurai's armor! Akira Kurosawa is such a top-tier favorite director, Spiderweb Castle/Throne of Blood is my favorite movie of his. He uses so much Noh theatre imagery in the sets and character designs. It also introduced me to one of my favorite actors, Toshiro Mifune (he can almost literally recreate a warrior mask but just with his crazy facial muscles). The armor is excellent in that movie too, and there's a scene at the end where Mifune as the main character is getting shot at with arrows that Kurosawa admits were REAL ARROWS from STUDENT archers. Mifune is such a champ lol I also binged your other videos, and your Yanxi Palace videos are a favorite.
Thank you for your kind words, so glad you enjoyed my videos! And you find an open door with me talking about Toshiro Mifune 😍Akira Kurosawa is another star. As you said such a complete artist..even if a bit reckless 😆
This video was awesome! I love a lot of the japanese patterns shown in the sengoku period, they seemed more colorful and unique compared to some of the more plain colors we see associated with some japanese fashion, particularly men's fashion. there is a manga called Azumi (do not watch the movie it is terrible) set at the very beginning of the Edo period that is about a girl who works as an assassin for the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Tendai buddhist sect that has so many unique japanese clothing styles. The Sengoku period had just ended and you see a lot of samurai and bandits wearing more colorful and flamboyant clothes.
Thank you so much! I totally agree with you about patterns. There are gorgeous. It seems to me a general modern tendency to like more monochrome styles 🤔 Thank you also for the recommendation. I have seen Demon Slayer recently and I was very impressed with their use of colours and patterns, so I'll be sure to check out Azumi 😁
After playing the game Sekiro, watched and read Dororo, and read this neat little manga adaptation of a light novel called Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan, I've been yearning for more Sengoku period media so I'm definitely going to check this Azumi manga you mentioned, thank you!
I just stumbled upon your CZcams channel, and I’m deep in love.
You're too kind! Thank you 😁

So glad you enjoyed it! I hope the others are equally to your taste 😄
