Sorekara No Musashi on dvd

Post by go »

Dear Readers,
I just finished watching the 13 episode 1996 tv miniseries called Sorekara No Musashi.
No this is not for children.
This series picks up with the showdown with Sasaki Kojiro and ends with Musashi's death.
Kinya Kitaoji (son of Ichikawa Utaemon) does a great job of playing Musashi.
The swordfighting and scenery are awesome in their detail.
The focus on his painting in context with the story is amazing.
10 hours of the really good stuff.
Best wishes to all!
