The Samurai Soul, Craft, Culture, and Inner Peace in Satsuma.
This tour explores the samurai spirit and inner peace found in the samurai, visiting the armor workshops of master craftsmen and the miraculously preserved samurai residences of Irikiin. The age of the samurai began 700 years ago, culminating in the Battle of Sekigahara 460 years ago and ending 150 years ago with the Satsuma Rebellion, Japan's last civil war. Perhaps the spirit of the samurai still flows deep within the hearts of the Japanese people. Enjoy this mystical exploration.
