Would a merchant be able to sell raw silk to a samurai in the year 1636?

The samurai of the 17th century were not exactly the samurai we all think of when we look at movies like The Last Samurai or any of those classic films which Quentin Tarantino is such a fan. In fact the early 17th century began a class of Samurai which we call the Edo or Tokugawa period of the Samurai's history in which they moved from being the famed warriors of Japan and became more of a political/bureaucratic nobility. It was not uncommon at all for the Samurai of this period to purchase and wear fine silks and clothes of the highest quality.


Why was the samurai paid with rice during the edo period?

Money was of little to no value. It could not be used in many places due to the fact that people were so poor there were no products to buy. Rice was used because it was of much greater value in the fact that if you couldn't find products to barter it for, you still would not go hungry.
