I wonder if anyone ever realised that Nobunaga initially wanted Yasuke as a human pet before making him a vassal…
…there are anecdotes galore about him being unable to master chopsticks, with his habit of eating with his hands being a great source of amusement to the children in the palace…
The Black Samurai Begins (part 2/4). I had so much fun working on the art for this strip! It was inspired by the book “African Samurai” by Thomas Lockley and Geoffrey Girard. It is a fascinating read if you’re interested in Yasuke and Japanese culture stories during their 100-year civil war.

When learning about secret history, always talk to magic beings who claim they were there. But NEVER mention that in your homework.

Thank you for sharing this fascinating history. I looked him up and found a 2019 article from the BBC about him! Thank you.
