Dear Mª José, this and the first email are very interesting, thanks. We have good material to reflect on!
 
  
 
In fact, you touch something I had already noticed, and that I reminded to my colleague: that Kanazawa is not a coward in the fight, no matter how much Tajomaru's violence makes him very cautious, and several times, wields his sword to take down the bandit.
 
  
 
By your name maybe you can speak Spanish, in case you’re interested, here you have the first class session (of two; on 7 April will be the second):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMkFvJbDRU4&t=2771s Its has been banned in some countries as I use video fragments (Youtube…!), in case it is your case, please, tell me and I can give you a link to my Onedrive -or to anyone who is interested and can understand Spanish.
 
  
 
Best,

Shortly after I sent my previous message, I started thinking about Kyoto’s Aoi Matsuri,  which serves as a parade of Heian Fashion,  and realised that Rashomon’s Kanazawa must be a 検非違使 (kebiishi), a武官 position that combined the duties of a judge and a policeman.
 
After a search for Akutagawa in my library, one book confirmed that Kanazawa’ s job in Akutagawa’s story is indeed that of検非違使

Interesting question.
 
See my observations on this character, written rather casually but with some visuals, in the attached pdf file.

Subject: Doubt on RASHÔMON
 
Dear colleagues,
 
I’m contributing to Japan Foundation Spain, with a colleague, on a course on Rashômon. I just wanted to bring one apparent secondary doubt: the man who is killed, is a public servant or a samurai? Is it both, taking in mind the etymology of the word “samurai”, “saburau” or “server”?
 
In most of the synopsis you can find he is a samurai, but in Akutagawa’s homonymous tale he is a “public servant”.
