For the Readers: News and Feedback (25/03/2019)



This is not the average article you are going to read here, in my blog, and if you are looking for some information about ancient Japanese warfare, feel free to skip entirely this post.

This in fact is for the readers of my blog, for those who like to leave a comment in my articles, who shared them, who spent time reading all of my efforts. First of all, thank you, for the very bottom of my heart.
This blog for me is a hobby, something I like to do in my free time: in fact I wish I could spend more of my time and money in order to have top notch graphics & drawings and an easy to use drop down menu; but if you have been here for a while you would have notice that the quality of the content is my priority, rather than anything else.

Since I have started this adventure with blogger, two years ago, I would have never think to see all of those comments and those views ( which at least to me, they are a lot!) and I'm still very far to write all the contents I want to create. It was very fun for me and I hope to continue this adventure in the future, because there are still too many things to write!

So what's the point in creating this post?

Few things; in April of this year (2019), Google+ would be deleted and unfortunately, the account that has created all of the articles and answered to all of the comments, Gunsen History, will be deleted too.
This won't mean that the blog will be deleted (at least I hope so!!), because I've switched to a blogger account (if you know more about this topic, please leave a comment below) so all the posts should be safe.
However, the comments done with Google+ accounts would be lost according to blogger, sadly.
I would have liked to keep them, but up tu now I have 500 comments more or less, and I don't see the point of pasting all of them below my articles, trying to restore the previous order: it would be too long and likely a failure, so I want to apologize for all the info that would be lost in those conversations.
If you think that something valuable was there, please feel free to copy them. I will try to save all of them in a backup text file.
I don't know how many comments will be lost and how it will work, but that's the news I wanted to give you nevertheless.
So if your comment (or my answer to it) will disappear, you know why.


However, this is not the only thing!

I was thinking that in those two years, I have been requested to write about some topics, either by a comment or by an e-mail.
Sadly, I wasn't able to fulfill all the requests; some articles require a lot of research, and I have to say that while for example I think to be well versed in 16th century Japanese armor, I'm not as knowledgeable when it comes to castle (yet!!).
In order to write about that topic, I want to be confident enough with the information I'm going to share; that's how I work!
So I would like to apologize to everyone who has written a request in the past, and wasn't able to see the article yet.

Since I'm going to lose some of those requests due to the Google+ removal, and some of them were likely to be forgotten ( not the recent ones for sure!), I wanted to use this post to ask to you, the readers, what you want to see in this blog next.

If you feel to do so, write me an e-mail at gunsen.military.history@gmail.com with "Request" in the object and said request in the text so that I would save them and give the priority to that subject/topic! Some articles would likely already be in the to do list, but don't worry about them.
I think that is the best way to thank you for all the patience and the time you have spent here!

So here we are, just few lines to talk about those issues; thank you for reading this and as always, for your time and support. I appreciate it a lot.

    Don't sweat it, brother in arms! If people truly love your content, which they do, the end of Google+ isn't going to stop their passion for your passion. One thing I know for sure is that it's not gonna stop me anytime soon. Will be looking forward to any new content! どうかお頑張りを！応援してます！

Tate & Tedate (盾 & 手盾) - Japanese Shields

Tate & Tedate (盾 & 手盾) - Japanese Shields A samurai carrying a Tate type of shield converted into a Tedate and a Nagamaki, "   石山寺縁起絵巻 ", 13th century Japanese shields are a really interesting topic to study, and an highly misunderstood one, especially inside the "pop culture". It is in fact quite common to read or hear the comment that says "samurai didn't use shield as they were dishonorable" ; however the reality of things were far from this romantic statements. Since it's a long story to tell, to really understand the development and the usage of shields in Japan, I have to start back in the early history of the " Rising sun's " country. When we talk about shield is quite hard to fit them inside a category, since they function both as armor component and as a weapon; and although some type of shields could be really complicated, most of them are quite easy to produce and is not a surprise to see that shields we

Masakari (鉞) - The Samurai's War Axe

Masakari (鉞) - The Samurai's War Axe Samurai holding a battle axe; detail from the  春日権現験記. 第８軸 Also know as Ono ( 斧 ) or as Fuetsu ( 斧鉞 ), this weapon is one of the less related within the "Samurai warfare" context. For many years inside the internet I've read a lot of stuffs about the fact that Samurai didn't use Axes in battle. If there is someone to blame, his name is Bashford Dean .  Although I do extremely respect the man for his pioneering approach inside the field of Samurai Arms & Armors in the late 19th and early 20th century, we can read in his first catalogue, "Catalogue of  the Loan Collection of Japanese Armor" dated 1905 from the "Metropolitan Museum of Art" one of the most "romantic" cliché associated within the Samurai warrior culture.                          Bashford Dean wearing Samurai Armor Quoting from the man itself, page 10 of the catalogue: " "In Japan, on the other hand, the a

Wakyuu ( 和弓) - The Japanese Bow DISCLAIMER: Since the article is longer than the expectations, here is a little Index: - History : Different bows structure and composition from the Yayoi to the Edo Period - The asymmetry, length and draw techniques explained - Power and range : Draw weight estimation, maximum range recorded and other sources - Arrows and quivers : Arrows types and quivers types - Bow & Armour : Some estimations and accounts Have a nice reading!!                                                    A copy of the famous Mouko Shurai Ekotoba   蒙古襲来絵詞 History & Structure The Japanese Bow or Wakyuu ( 和弓 ) , also called Yumi ( 弓 ) , is one of the most interesting weapons used by the ancient Samurai warriors, but its history is even more older. Like in many countries, bows were tools for hunting before being weapons, and Japan was no exception. Stone arrowheads unearthed by archeologists suggest that bows and arrows have b

Sengoku Period Warfare: Part 1 - Army and Battle Formations

Sengoku Period Warfare: Part 1 - Army and Formations A detail from   関ヶ原合戦屏風 , late 19th century. The Sengoku period ( 戦国時代 ) is generally speaking the most interesting, intense and famous period of Japanese history. We are all familiar with the classic picture of the Ashigaru arquebusiers formation, or with the fierce Samurai horseman wielding a spear and names like Oda Nobunaga or Takeda Shingen are among the most celebrated Samurai ever existed. So I decided to dedicate a series of article talking about the military history behind the most famous warlords and battles of this period. This one will be dedicated to the Army and the classic "Battle Formations" of the Sengoku Jidai . But first we need to clarify few things ; The Sengoku period is an awfully long period which roughly goes from the 1467 to the 1600 depending on the sources and the only red line connecting more than 100 years of history is that the various provinces of Japan were constantly at w

Tosei Gusoku (当世具足) - Body Coverage Explained

Japanese Armor Body Coverage Explained Warriors of the Takeda Clan donning their armor, Utagawa Sadahide ( 歌川 貞秀 ) -    武田勇士揃 As I said before in a previous post, for any serious "Armor Enthusiast", there are some questions that suddenly come to mind when looking at a full harness. Last time I've covered the weight, today I wanted to focus on the " How much does it protect you?" question. Now, Japanese Armor is an huge topic ; to make this article "short enough", I will speak about some different configurations (the most protective ones - and thus the heaviest ) used to protect the warrior on the battlefield of the Sengoku Jidai. This analysis will cover the Tosei Gusoku ( 当世具足 ) type of armor, when it was fully developed, around the early/mid 16th century, and most of the time I will talk about the 25+ kg armor setup. I've decided to do this post using some anatomic sketches and armor sketches to illustrate how all the armor components

Cagayan Battles of 1582: Debunking the Hoax

Cagayan Battles of 1582: Debunking the Hoax  A picture taken from the Spanish comics "Las Espadas Del Fin Mundo" depicting the fictitious battle. Before starting to write anything about the Cagayan battle, I would like to make a premise: I'm not really a fan of the kind of debates you could find on the internet about hypothetical battles, deadliest warrior scenarios or something like that. Honestly, I find the entertainment value of such discussions healthy only when they are educated and based on logic, historical accuracy and knowledge of the topic people want to discuss. However , the average quality of these debates is usually extremely low : people make their arguments based on wrong pop culture stereotypes and " fanboyism", which turn the whole discussion very quickly into a toxic one, where people just insult each other. In my Blog here you will never find anything similar; this project was born with the purpose to create a place on the internet

Wantō (湾刀): Early Curved Japanese Swords

Wantō (湾刀): Early Curved Japanese Swords A classic example of a curved warabitet ō, the most common style. If you have ever tried to approach the study of Japanese swords , you might have encountered the incredible amount of different theories and the huge (and occasionally hostile ) nomenclature that pervade such field. In order to make things clear and at the same time pay omage to this long tradition, today I'm going to talk about the  Wantō (湾刀), the first c urved Japanese swords . This specific name is an umbrella term used to refer to every Japanese curved swords, although in this s artilce I'm going to present the very first types of said family, namely the warabitet ō  ( 蕨手刀 )   which differs from the usual curved Japanese sword of the later periods and all the variations that sprung from this so iconic and yet forgotten Japanese swords. As a premise I would love to point out that this is definitely not my area of expertise, and it tooks several month t
