I just saw one of the shorts on my YouTube page that was titled “Beautiful Samurai.” It had a picture of a young woman waving at sword. I did not click on the bait. I am not an expert on Japanese culture or history. However, something in me says that the idea of a female Samari goes against the grain.
We have the concepts of paradox and oxymoron. They make the statement that two things that seem to rule the other out can both be true. If you have one child or grandchild it is impossible to think about having enough love for the next. My brother has so many grandchildren I wonder if he knows all their names. He still loves them. Impossible but real. Theologically we have things like the trinity and the incarnation.
That is different from things that are logically impossible. Take for instance the idea of a square circle. One concept rules out the other. That is the situation with the Beautiful Samurai, but I reserve the right to be totally out of my depth. It won’t be the first time.
