Hi everyone, I’m new to using samurai names in my writing and found this resource which looks useful. I want to make sure I’m respectful and accurate when adding them into my characters’ arcs. Are there naming systems or preferences I should be aware of? For example, when to use family names versus personal names? Any best practices or cultural considerations would be appreciated.
