(In the modern world, in America [I can't afford to train in Japan, unfortunately!]-- for instance: what form/school of modern martial arts training most closely mirrors the training that say, an Edo-period Samurai would have undergone? Also: What are some good instructional texts on Bushido (besides the "Hagakure," and a "Book of Five Rings") Plus: any other info you'd care to add... interesting websites, source material, insights into Samurai culture/philosophy... or even, info on Samurai 'accoutrements' (swords, books, hakama :-), tea ceremony, calligraphy, etc.)
