Bunny's well-organized, and well-administered site. Home of the RK Readers Choice awards. |
| Guilty Pleasures | One of the best fanfic libraries on the web. Includes many other fandoms (InuYasha, Fruits Basket, Jane Austen). Check out Leilani's recommendations for some wonderful, classic RK & IY fics. |

Samurai History Group at Yahoo Groups. Excellent source for everything about samurai from what they wore to how they trained. Articles, links, on-line store |
| Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire | Beautifully done PBS site with an interactive timeline and a wonderful set of informative links |
| Hyoho | The Hyoho site provides information about the traditional Japanese martial arts. It really helps develop a sense of the conduct and demeanor of the samurai and how they thought about their arts. Be prepared to learn just as much about Zen discipline as some of the more obscure weapons and schools. | liveblade | If you happen to admire Japanese forgework, as I do, you will drool over the LiveBlade site. |
