Description Two Samurai

These two samurai agreed to stop killing their warlord's enemies long enough for me to take their photograph. They said if the photo does not get a lot of comments and faves, they will behead me.

Here and now one more comment so that you neednΒ΄t loose your head (literally)!
Your pics of Japan, its landscape, architecture and people are wonderful, sensitive and often very impressive. The impressions you got on your journey(s) are a treasure of your heart and soul that nobody will ever be able to take away.
Thank you for sharing your pictures with me!

Reading your comment is a wonderful way to start my morning.

I am happy you enjoyed viewing my photographs. That is why I take them.

Thank you

It's alright. These samurai have never seen a gun.

I see, well let's just hope they don't invoke the "don't bring a gun to a sword fight" rule.

Why do their shoes separate their big toes from all the others?

That allows the sandal to be held in place.

I'd like to see both of them fight one Samurai from when they were the best in the world. I'm sure it would be rather one-sided, even if he's outnumbered. Awesome pic though, I really love their armor

The outfits were carefully hand-crafted in an attempt to recreate a genuine samurai costume

They certainly look real and like the shoulder armour and armour skirts could restrict movement.

I don't think their armor is anywhere near as restrictive as a Transformer's armor!!

When I watched the Samurai move, their movements did not seem restricted nor constricted. If it was, they didn't let their audience know it.

You lucky! XD
I hope to see Japan one day and meet some of its tipical figures such as geishas, real and serious cosplayers, like those two ones, and many more! It must be fantastic and funny

AndySerrano In reply to MidnightSun77 [2010-10-04 01:46:03 +0000 UTC]

If you want see genuine geishas, you will have to do some serious research and find out where they hang out and where they can be seen. They are for the rich. You won't see them unless you know what you are doing.

The same is true for Cos-players. I can give you a short-cut. Check out these two links [link] [link] and save them in a Japan wish-list. You'll have to research what days they engage in cos-play.

If you want to see Harajuku outfits, you'd have to go to Harajuku on a Sunday.
