Скачать или смотреть The Lost Art of Samurai Horse Warriors—How Riders Shaped Japan’s Warrior Soul

Long before the samurai became symbols of swordsmanship and duels on foot, they were first and foremost horse warriors. This documentary explores the forgotten equestrian foundations of Japan’s warrior class and reveals how mounted combat shaped the mindset, discipline, and spiritual core of the bushi.

From the earliest arrival of horses in the Japanese archipelago to the rise of mounted archers and armored riders, this video traces how horsemanship influenced warfare, social hierarchy, and the evolution of Bushidō itself. You will see how rider and horse formed a single fighting organism, how specialized armor and equipment were designed for mobility and balance, and how battlefield techniques developed in the saddle later transformed archery, spear fighting, and swordsmanship on foot.

The story also follows the gradual decline of military cavalry during the long peace of the Edo period and explains why the spirit of the mounted warrior did not disappear, but instead survived in ritual, philosophy, and martial traditions that continue to shape Japanese culture today.

This is a calm, immersive, documentary-style journey into the lost art of samurai horse warriors—where movement, discipline, and harmony defined true strength.
