Cool. Coincidentally, I watched 'The Last Samurai' a couple of days ago and have developed a strong fondness and reverence for this Japanese clan since. An ostensibly savage group of people who live by the sword, and yet have princliples, values and customs that would make the most civilized of communities covet.

Optimistic, Shobig,

Thanks mates!

The Japanese culture is amazing actually. I've been to Japan thrice, and each visit leaves me amazed.

The Last Samurai? I've not seen it yet.

Thanks for the encouragement.

'The Last Samurai' is a good movie, but it fails to show many unmentionables about the Samurais. Like the way the samurai had a young boy as a sexual playmate sort of thing.

A worthy effort.
