Jomon is reasonably good at killing infantry, yes. But anything with any sort of ranged weapon will slaughter them. Unfortunately that's not really c'tis forte, but standard c'tis skellyspam + poison tactics should work just fine against samurai, so they really shouldn't be a problem. Plus falchioneers should be able to put a decent level of hurt on the samurai, and the light infantry should be a relatively efficient buy for fighting samurai. If you're buying desert rangers and tomb guards then yes, your military is going to feel feeble against the samurai. Jomon's infantry are really quite vulnerable though, relying on their higher than standard defense and medium armor to keep them safe. You should have no trouble killing them.
