Talk:Rōnin

message: I decided to add two pictures to the article.  They make the page look pretty nice now. --Kross 07:29, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
:The one from Forty-seven Ronin was my first picture on Wikipedia, fifty-one weeks ago. It does make good sense on Ronin too. Fg2 08:14, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

What is a wondering samurai?
:I was "wondering" the same thing myself, (It's a typo, silly!) --Roninbk 13:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The word 浪人 rōnin came from 浮浪人 furōnin, furō meaning "floating on waves" or "drifting with waves". The sentence "The word ronin literally means "wave man" - one who is tossed about, as on the waves in the sea." is a good explanation of this, but adding the word "furo" might help readers understand better?
I am afraid that "serf" might not be a proper word to be used here. Farmers were bound to the assigned lands, but they were not transfered with the lands as was the case for serfs, I suppose?

message: Quote from editor above who deleted Rurouni Kenshin from the article because the character was not a wondering Samurai, but just a wondering swordsman, former assassin, that mastered a style of sword play called the "Hetan Mitsurugi style". Kenshin was never born into a samurai class nor did he ever belong to any shogunate. This is so interesting - can it be placed somewhere? Is there an article on Rurouni? Also, the word "drifter" exists in English though it doesn't have positive meaning, but "freelance" comes close. A mercenary is a freelance soldier - is that Ronin?

message: Isn't this usually referred to as 'junshi', which was eventually banned, in 1664 according to one source.  5 May 2007
For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junshi
also "hara kiri" traslated means 'stomach cutting' so its meaning could vary if you are going to use it in this context then at least the kanji should be shown as well: 腹切り sence its a reverse of the proper kanji for ritual suicide(seppuku)切腹  --WNS  08:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The separate sections each appear to provide information on both status and history.  Could they be improved upon without combining the sections?--Kenneth M Burke 01:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Any reason for the special 'o'? Gil_mo (talk) 09:07, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The macron over the 'o' is a convention of the modern Hepburn system of writing Japanese words using letters of the Latin alphabet and in this case denotes a slightly longer long-o sound.  Boneyard90 (talk) 02:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
