That's pretty much it-- if there were still a Shogun around who you could impress (a la Will Adams the english navigator in 1600), you might have a shot. In a modern, and I assume North American context, all you can really do is properly research the lifestyle of the samurai class (here's a good place to start), join your local branch of the SCA, and be hon samurai on the weekends while continuing to lead a sucky wage-slave life the rest of the time. It's what I do
