So i just watched documentary by history channel in youtubr about Japanese feudal society, some questions kept me from sleeping well:

-how did the samurai engage in warfare? Is it like Roman warfare where recruits were deployed front line with velites skirmishing? (In this case, poorly equipped ashigarus in front, and well equipped troops behind)

-10% of the population were samurai at sengoku jidai (?) What's a life of a samurai like?

-what are the requirements for becoming a samurai, or even the daimyo's bodyguard?

-marriages: what is the difference if i were: (A) a peasant woman (B) a noble's daughter (C) a merchant's daughter (D) the emperor's daughter Can i refuse marriages? What my life would be?

-do emperors or shoguns in Japan have multiple wives like they do in China?

-was there any incidents of elopement done (because assuming the daughter didnt want the marriage) recorded? If so what happened next?

Thanks
