POV: You Were a Samurai Who Lost His Sword in Battle

You are twenty-six years old. It is October, 1600. You have marched all night in the rain, and the sword on your hip was your father's. By the end of this day, it will be gone. You are a foot soldier in the fog at Sekigahara, one of the biggest battles in Japanese history. You'll lose your sword in the mud, borrow a spear from a stranger, and learn what actually decided this war: guns, spears, a hill that changed sides, and a question asked by lantern light. Was the sword ever the thing that mattered? And what was the one thing a samurai really needed to prove he had fought?
