Graeme is correct. To be period-accurate, it should be the longbow.

The Yamabushi monk is clearly superior to the swordsman, as it costs only 2 gold more, only 5 resources vs. 15, has a morale of 15, is sacred to allow it's morale to go up to 18, has two more points of protection, and is immune to both fire and frost. The cost of the unit should probably be increased, as it will likely be better than swordsman in any given situation. You also might want to give them improved defense instead of natural protection, but I'm not sure of any thematic arguments here.
Again I agree with Graeme. To be "thematically proper", they should have improved defense, not protection. Protection is damage resistance (armor). Defense is damage-avoidance (nimbleness and training).

I also agree with Graeme's other points for various unit costs, etc. You've done fine work with the mod, Potato. Tweak it a bit as suggested by Graeme and it'll be GREAT.
