A detail account covering the Satsuma and Chosu areas that were early Samurai (Those who Serve) Japan.
From these areas, groups traveled to China looking for their own origins, The Ruling China Dynasty called them people from
the East and or Land of the Sun and shared Chinese teachings of writing and civilization.
From this experience, the first Samurai that were educated in this manner, wrote the 1st Imperial Rescript (Law)
establishing a "divine" Origin for themselves as being from the Sun. From this point on, these same Samurai would continue
to add WRITTEN Rescripts that would forge Japan into a Military machine.
