What is Nobushi in Japanese?

The article discusses the history and legacy of Nobushi, a type of warrior that was popular during the Sengoku period (1467-1603) in Japan. They were seen as elite warriors and were skilled in both armed and unarmed combat. The term "Nobushi" is derived from two words: “no” which means “field” or “open area”; and “bushi” which means warrior or samurai. Nobushis were typically taller than other samurai warriors due to their long training periods, had excellent physical strength, great stamina, and used weapons such as spears, bows and arrows. Their legacy lives on today through various forms such as video games like Samurai Warriors 4 and modern martial arts schools teaching techniques based off those used by nobushis during this time period.
