Been a hectic day but I'm slowly getting through all the footage from yesterday's gun show in Matsumoto. A quick clip coz I can't wait to show you some of this incredible experience!

Groceries in one hand, 18th century Japanese matchlock in the other.
Ohazassu Johnny reporting for duty! 🫡😄

Witnessing a live samurai matchlock musket demonstration by the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps certainly puts 16th-century Japanese warfare into perspective! In person, you can smell the smoke and feel the report of the matchlocks as they fire.

Do you know Oda Nobunaga? There's a statue of him on the corner here at Endoji Shotengai in Nagoya. What's he holding? @_Gun_Samurai

28 June 1575 – Battle of Nagashino 🔫⚔️
Samurai didn’t reject guns for honour — they mastered them. At Nagashino, massed gunfire destroyed cavalry and rewrote Japanese warfare. @_Gun_Samurai breaks down the myth and the reality.

Not a common word but you never know when you might need to tell someone to put the matchlock down.
Today's word was inspired by the samurai gun show at Matsumoto Castle last month.
Missed the photos and video? Link to that below...

If hōjutsu and The Way of the Gun is something that interests you, then you should give Gun Samurai a go. A Decade in the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps.
