Is historical reenactment an actual employment option?

How would one get involved?

The government of Japanese provinice Iga-Ueno, the Meme Home of Japanese Ninja Clans, recently put out an ad for full time ninja reenactors.

I guess you'd want to get affiliated with a museum or historical society of some kind. I doubt there'd be much prospects for full time work, unless you're basically a living exhibit in a museum, waving an axe and scaring groups of schoolkids.

There are some quite large organisations that handle reenactments though. The Sealed Knot probably has a few full time staff for example:

Interesting, but not really accessible to most yuropoors.

Is it a viable employment option, anyway? I heard people who do living history are often volunteers and hobbyists.

I don't think anybody pays people to do historical scenes. Except of course filmmakers and those castle guards.

Reposting original shit from 4chan and other places is how those sites work, son.

Better get used to it.
