Mongols vs. Samurais, Mongol Invasions of Japan 元寇
◆Japanese fortresses ⇒
◆Samurai battles ⇒
Samurais’ prowess in the battlefields had been symbolic of Japan’s rejection to becoming a tributary vassal of any foreign dynasties for more than a millennium. 元寇に抗堪したサムライ達の武勇は、日本が永きにわたり異朝の属国になることを拒絶してきた行動の鑑と言える。
