Might there be a connection with Seven Samourai ?

I apologize if this comment is overly trivial : I can't help but establish a mental link with Arira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, even if the story supposedly takes place one century later. Noliscient (talk) 15:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Noliscient: No need to apologize; this is a legitimate question. As for the answer: As to my knowledge, there is no direct connection. It must be said that events as portrayed in Seven Samurai - of peasants and allied samurai taking up arms against bandits and warlord forces - was a very common occurance in 15th to 17th century Japan. For example, smaller ikki also emerged in other provinces at the time of the Yamashiro ikki. Later on, even bigger and more powerful ikki like the Kaga ikki emerged. In fact, the ninja are directly linked to the ikki as well. In Iga Province, the local samurai and peasants also took power around the mid-16th century, and their ikki included villages which produced many ninja (see the Tenshō Iga War for some details about that ikki's end). In conclusion, Seven Samurai does not reflect one event, but a wider trend of the period. Applodion (talk) 16:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
