Just of sheer curiosity I was wondering how many people here reads regularly or have ever read "Usagi Yojimbo" the Stan Sakai's comic. And if that is the case would you say the comic is a realistic description of 17th century Japan?
For general information: Usagi Yojimbo follows the adventures of a Ronin in 17th century Japan just at the beginning of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The cool thing is that in the comic, the characters are not humans. They are animals. Usagi (the main character) is a bunny, his sensei is a lion, his warlord a panda bear, the ninjas are cats or bats, etc, etc.
Regardless the "Walt Disney's effect" the comic is quite realistic in my opinion.
