    Ravina gives much engaging detail about the existence of this samurai from Satsuma: his origins, family life, and education under the Satsuma gojū system, a largely self-regulating institution for social control and the schooling of samurai youth. Ravina reveals some of the fascinating aspects of this tradition, which include the custom of hiemontori, a competition created for young samurai to be rewarded with the right to practice their swordsmanship on human cadavers; and a homoerotice atmosphere between student and teacher. Due to a serious injury to his right arm, Saigō concentrated his energies more towards the scholastic side of education than the martial, and he eventually became a teacher held in high regard. Ravina describes the sensations of great joy that Saigo experienced during his exile due to the children he taught on his tiny island.…

    In the first battle scene the Japanese army is unprepared even though that had a huge advantage over the samurai as far as technology goes. The samurai used bow and arrows, swords, spears, and rode on horseback. They wore traditional dress such as large metal armor and ornate headpieces. The Japanese army wore modern outfits and fired their arms in synchronized lines. The samurai reigned victorious. It was considered an honor among the samurai to die in battle while fighting for what they believed in. They practiced a form of suicide known as hari cari if they were disloyal. Even if they were wounded in battle and were soon to die, they'd rather kill themselves then be defeated by the enemy. The American general is captured as a prisoner and brought back to the samurai village. He is taught "bushida" or the ways of the warriors. The village was very primitive and showed no signs of being modernized. Women were subordinate to men, which was shown when Taka was forced to obey her brother. These people were very religious and practiced a form of Buddhism which included deep meditation.…
