Thank you for your hard work today.
This video is made to help you fall asleep.
Tonight's topic is about the life and money of a ronin (masterless samurai) in the Edo period.
A ronin is a samurai who has lost the family he served.
Even though he still carries his sword, the rice that used to arrive regularly every year no longer arrives from anywhere.
The rent for a tenement house in the back alleys was about 500 mon per month.
Rice was about 100 mon per sho (1.8 liters).
The ronin made ends meet by paying their teachers at private schools, writing letters for others, working as a street fortune teller, substituting for dojo instructors, and working as a bodyguard at night.
In years when money was insufficient, his sword would go to the pawn shop.
We will be looking at a room in the back of a tenement house on a back street in Edo.
There is a stand by the wall for hanging swords.
Towards the end of the story, we'll delve a bit deeper into the tales of ronin (masterless samurai) seeking new employment and those who laid down their swords to become doctors, merchants, or farmers.
There are no scenes of revenge or sword fights. There are no major climaxes.
If you find yourself drifting off to sleep at any point, just let it flow.
