1、Musui27s story summaryJing NingHIST248 Summary of Musuis Story3/8/2016I have watched some animations and television shows on samurais life and their stories before. They are always depicted as men with strong spiritual power and it seems that there is the “soul of samurai” naturally within their bod
2、ies. They also seem to be born with bravo and loyalty. However, in Musuis Story written by Katsu Kokichi, a samurai in Japans late Tokugawa period who adopted the name Musui after his retirement, he reveals an exceptional account on the real life experience of samurai. And the truth is they actually
3、 suffered from their status and the cruel reality confronting them.Katsu Kokichi was adopted by the Katsu family in his early age to become the son-in-law as we discussed in the course, since his brother inherited from his father their family rank and thus his brother successed the family name inste
4、ad of him. In his childhood, he was required by his father to learn many samurai lessons such as judo, riding, fencing in different places and Chinese academics in Shogunate academy. His role as a samurai was actually well played by him. He was good at riding and fencing and even established a fenci
5、ng school later in his adult years. But soon he ran away from home twice because he could not bear his living conditions. In his twenties, when he was taken home from his running away, his father kept him in cage for three years and during this time, he formally learned how to read and write. At the
6、 age of thirty-six, he was obliged to retire and pass family headship to his son Rintaro. Afterwards, he wrote this autobiography to record his life experience and to give advice to his heirs. He wants them to take his story as a lesson and not to misbehave and make mischief as he did. From my point
7、 of view, although the aim of Katsu Kokichi to write such an autobiography is to teach a lesson to his heirs, the description of his life experience in this book are more like a heroic record than a reflection and confession. I think Katsu Kokichi himself was actually proud of what he had done to en
8、joy his life and got everything he wanted. Even in the hardest period, he chose to irresponsibly run away from his debt rather than working hard to pay it back. Furthermore, he noted the remarkable opinion-change event in his life, which is he was persuaded by an old man to treat others well. From t
9、hat point, he began to kindly help people in his community to solve problems, from personal to financial, and his reputation among his community was successfully established. In his description, it is obvious to find his arrogance while reading these parts. Especially in the life after retirement pa
10、rt, he successfully helped his landlord to raised money from farmers in a village near Osaka. When I was reading this part, I think the family of his landlord and even himself treated this event as his triumph. But it is hard to tell if he was recording based on the truth since this is his autobiogr
11、aphy and exaggeration is common in this kind of books. Anyway, his story still validly passes a message of encouraging well- deed. From now on I would like to talk more about the social reality of late Edo period that I found in this book.In the late Tokugawa period, due to the great number of samur
