Was tsujigiri a real thing?
Post Body

Every once in a while reading about or watching a documentary on Shogunate era Japan, tsujigiri is brought up. Its usually described as the samurai practice of testing a new weapon on a random commoner.

Was this ever a thing as I described it above? The idea that samurai were allowed to go around slaughtering random people reminds me more of myths about the middle ages (e.g. jus prima noctis), rather than any real practice.
