Key differences between samurais and ninjas
I have always wondered what the difference is between a ninja sword and a japanese samurai sword, so I decided to carry out a bit of research on both and finally solve the mystery.
Both of these weapons have seen a resurgence in popularity, capturing the imagination of sword collectors and oriental enthusiasts alike.
These weapons represent an entire culture and civilization but the owners that wielded these weapons have very different morals and values.
The samurai fighters were tasked with defending the royal family, which made them very respected in their community. These individuals lived on a strict code of honor, valor, pride and respect which made them an elite fighting force.
In sharp contrast the ninjas were a band of fighters which were highly feared. They considered their swords to be tools of the trade which were simple and crude, whilst the samurais considered their swords to be valuables that needed to be respected and valued.
