5 hrs confidence:
because they have a practice to arrange the weapons Explanation: I choose 'practice' among 'habit','tradition','convention'. Because they usually prepare the weapons by having learned through many wars that it's important to be ready, with an unconscious habit also consciously, personally also collectively. |

9 hrs confidence:
more mindful of preparing for war Explanation: In the context the idea is the emphasis that the heart of 関東武者 whose hearts are, unlike those of the 関西武士, that of real "samurai". The author is making clear comparison between the two, whereas fo the former their heart and mind are always on the real thing, the war, whereas the latter arming one's mind not on the war, but on a hobby like collecting tea ceremony material. To understand this sentence takes real understanding of the historical background of early Tokugawa Shogunate or at the time of the end of Sengoku Era. It is important to know that Kanto is a home of Samurai since Heian Period, not Kansai. HTH |
