If the lighting is not set so that the shadows fall in the same positions as in the original image, the result will not look like this. Even when instructed to preserve the original image without cropping, that instruction is ignored. imgur.com/a/HrLqiZs

I first turned the original ukiyo-e into a photo-like image using Grok and then made it into a video. If I did not specify that the two should continue fighting, they simply ran side by side.

Some say fine-sounding talks, but they cannot be trusted. Some do not say it, but they can be trusted. Between a person who says fine-sounding talks and can be trusted, and a person who does not say it but can be trusted, is the second one trusted more?

Since ninja placed importance on attacks on rainy nights, did they use an ebira quiver with a waterproof cover like the one depicted in the Moriyoshi Shinno Shutsujinzu? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%E8%…

youtube.com/watch?v=1ze7pl… Hand-dao for anti-armor may have a large edge angle. Are wakizashi often smaller in edge angle than katana? Katana with a large edge angle seem to be used not only for anti-armor purposes but also to deflect an opponent’s blade.
