Im New (more detailed)

i asked a question a while back and i dont think anyone got what i was
asking.... " I would like to know if there are any organizations that
support the samurai way of life and are somewhat like a clan" I looked
at the S.C.A but it was some european thing

" I would like to know if there are any organizations that

>support the samurai way of life and are somewhat like a clan"

To my knowledge in the US, no.

"I looked

>at the S.C.A but it was some european thing"

The SCA IS primarily European but there are Japanese personna involved as
well. The largest japanese "clan" would be clan yama kaminari.

The SCA is mostly European culture, by definition. There are "some"
chinese, mongol and japanese groups (as there are groups based in
fantasy) within the SCA but these are a small percentage.

I have been in the SCA on and off since 1981 and have had people
actually talk me out of a samurai persona because they really are a
stretch according to the definition of the SCA.
