This week, I had the chance to visit mikeD Streeter’s latest Role Play region/sim in Second Life, the land called Samurai Japan. Obviously, Samurai Japan is a region greatly inspired by ancient Japan, although, I’m not particularly sure what time period was it actually based on but I can safely say that it’s based on a  very old Japan. You know, that period in time when Samurais and Ninjas exist, where people live and die by the sword and where code and honor is above everything else.

I learned about Samurai Japan from a group announcement sent through The Roman Empire group (SL Roman Empire) which is also a owned by mikeD Streeter. The group notice contained a landmark that took me to Samurai Japan.

When I got there, I immediately started my visit by looking around the place and while I was checking out the docks, mikeD Streeter kinda surprised me with an instant message. I was surprised because I didn’t realize he was anywhere near the place. If he was then he must be invisible because I didn’t see or notice him there.

He told me some interesting information about the docks like it’s not just for display. People can rez ships or boats and sail around the islands which is cool. Sailing around them is possible because mikeD has like multiple sims all joined together which provided enough space to actually sail around the various regions and see the different sights.

Afterwards, mikeD told me to stay where I was because he sent for someone who’ll show me around Samurai Japan. At first, two people came and they were Futanari Criss and Bobika Ferrer.

I’m not quite sure what their roles are in Samurai Japan but they seem to be of certain importance. Well, just by looking at Bobika I can say that his role is in the military or something related to that. Bobika and Futanari showed me the initial areas which were the docks and the shops around it, mikeD Streeter’s shop, the armory and the forge (which is a building consist of shops) and the Temple.

We were then later joined by Shay Daviau and by Samurai Japan’s Emperor himself, Ronin McGinnis. The two showed me the rest of Samurai Japan and the Emperor was kind enough to say something about each of the different locations we looked at.

The two were great tour guides and the Emperor was very kind to answer all my questions and he provided lots of information about Samurai Japan.
