Samurai Equine

Trying something new: Samurai fact of the week!

This week's fact... The main difference between a samurai and a ninja is one's an occupation, the other is not.

If you are a samurai, you are a soldier employed by the emperor, a member of the shogunate, or a regional lord. You are usually paid in money, resources, education, and a greater status in life than the average commoner.
If you are a ninja, you are a practitioner of ninjustu. It's a martial art, not a job. Shinobi are male ninja, kunoichi are female ninja. Which is exactly why ninja can also become samurai (or work for samurai), and why a samurai can learn ninja skills.

Basically, whatever shows like Naruto teaches you, take it with a grain of salt. There is some truth in those shows, but also lots of fantasy.

What do you think, my crowd? Should I keep this up every week? Silence, positive reactions, and positive comments will be taken as a yes.  Only negative comments and negative reactions will be taken as a no.
