Rurouni Kenshin & Yamada: The Samurai of Ayothaya


From the many Japanese samurai stories, I wanted to share two of my favorite ones. Yamada: The Samurai of Ayothaya tells the story set in the 17th century of Yamada Nagamasa serving and fighting along with the Siamese in Ayutthaya Kingdom. Next, Rurouni Kenshin is a manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki telling the story of Himura Kenshin who in the past used to be an assassin called Hitokiri Battosai owned by the Bakumatsu government. When he decided to stop murdering, Himura Kenshin took refuge in a swordsmanship school which was owned by a young Japanese woman called Kamiya Kaoru.
