     I've been playing my colonies with the animu hair mod. And I usually use the "samurai senpai". And every time I see it, I really wished there were samurai robes and a katana, nodachi, tanto, tachi, yumi samurai bows, and armor. Maybe make a special faction of samurai for the game like the norbals and rimtroopers. That adds all the gear and weapons. And I'm surprised no one has made something like this yet. And of course don't forget about the NINJA outfit, buildings, and furniture. Have special tables and like floor mats for sitting. Cause its historically accurate that that's how they ate. Alot of Japanese still eat like this. Sake could be added cause alcohol is a thing now. Rice patties and other Japanese foods. New wooden floor and wall pieces to give it an authentic feeling for the people who want to build a daimyo's castle. Maybe a total conversion type mod where its just flat out war you can start with money, food, wood, all the normal stuff. But weapon and clothing wise. You start with a Yumi (To replace the Lee Enfield) (Side note: Guns were still a thing back then a matchlock rifle could be made instead. Better yet have them both but decide.) a Katana (To replace the pistol) (Side note: There is a smaller sword a one handed sword called a wakizashi that could be used instead. A technology could have to be researched before you could build a katana.) and a tanto. (To replace the plasteel knife.) (Side note: The tanto is pretty small so to replace the knife would be perfect.) And clothing wise one person or no one could start with samurai armor. And the rest just have basic samurai robes. And you can build everything the mod has to offer. You can make a plasteel Katana that'll do tons of damage and lasts longer then a basic steel or bronze or whatever you may be able to make it out of. Cause weapon deterioration is a thing now also. I said something about research and technology. I have not thought very hard about that but I'm sure with a little bit of time to think. I could come up with a list of researchable tech that could unlock how to make a weapon and special armors and defenses.

     More Gear Idea: Their were lower tier soldiers called 'Ashigaru' they wore some basic armor and use spears or yumis. More precisely a replacement for the spear would be the Yari which instead of a spear head on the end it was more of a tanto blade. 
     This is just an idea I had. If I knew all about modding and doing that stuff I'd do it. But unfortunately I'd have no Idea what I was doing. But anyways, thanks to any modders who take the time to read my request. And hopefully someone takes the time to do this. (As I think more on this I will add more ideas to this post too help anyone who wants to try to take this on.)

Mithradates

Katanas should take twelve years to forge, eight hours a day by a level 16+ craftsman, but should be able to cut right through centipedes because it is the most balanced weapon and uses the most advanced smithing techniques ever known to man (they would fold the metal over and over and over again, and use low carbon steel for the spine of the blade, but high carbon steel for the edge itself). It should have an attack speed of 1.8, but 1.2 in the hands of a trained master samurai or ronin (masterless samurai - imagine something like a pirate faction). Samurai should  also get a bonus to deflection against all ranged and melee attacks aimed at them (not area of effect though). Their armor should be craftable from wood, cloth, and metal, and should be just a little weaker than Power Armour, but should require a lot of time to make. As well, they should be able to dual weild Katana and Wakisashi (basically a smaller, faster, weaker version of the Katana). Characters of the Samurai class should have 'Bound By Honour' as a trait, which gives them a -20 to Mental Break threshold, but if they do break and end up killing one of their fellow colonists, they should commit seppuku (ritual suicide).  and should get a mood bonus from killing other samurai and Ashigari, and of course from oppressing Japanese peasants.

Romani arma in omnis habent, acerruma in eos, quibus victis spolia maxuma; audendo et fallundo et bella ex bellis serundo magni facti. Per hunc morem extinguent omnia aut occident.
