Snow on the Blades *Kiichi Nakai & Ryoko Hirosue EN Sub

Master swordsman Shimura Kingo/Kiichi Nakai is charged with protecting the Shogun's chief minister, and fails. Forbidden from taking his own life, he is instead commanded to track down and kill the assassins. Only then will he be permitted an honourable death.

Events conspire against the quest. One by one, the assassins die before he can reach them, each time to the increasing frustration of Kingo and his lord. Worse, the times are changing rapidly. The Meiji Restoration makes swordsmen an embarrassing irrelevance.

Only one assassin remains at large. Even after the death of his lord, Kingo presses on. Snow On The Blades is beautifully filmed and is a continuous joy to behold. The costumes and scenery are fantastic. The acting is on key and convincing, and the fight scenes superb.

The two male leads are simply marvellous and superbly well-matched, while the lovely Ryoko Hirosue provides stoic support as Kingo's true samurai wife. Highly recommended.

MUSASHI *Ebizo Ichikawa & Ryoko Yonekura ~2003 Drama Series EN Sub

Miyamoto Musashi/Ebizo Ichikawa was the child of an era when Japan was emerging from decades of civil strife. Lured to the great battle of Sekigahara in 1600 by the hope of becoming a samurai; without really knowing what it meant. He regains consciousness after the battle to find himself lying defeated, dazed and wounded among thousands of dead and dying. On his way home, he commits a rash act, becomes a fugitive and brings life in his own village to a standstill; until he is captured by a weaponless Zen monk.

The lovely Otsu/Ryoko Yonekura, seeing in Musashi her ideal of manliness, frees him from his tortuous punishment, but he is recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he delves into the classics of Japan and China. When he is set free again, he rejects the position of samurai and for the next several years pursues his goal relentlessly, looking neither to left nor to right.

Ever so slowly it dawns on him that following the Way of the Sword is not simply a matter of finding a target for his brute strength. Continually striving to perfect his technique, which leads him to a unique style of fighting with two swords (Niten-ryu) simultaneously, he travels far and wide, challenging fighters of many disciplines, taking nature to be his ultimate and severest teacher and undergoing the rigorous training of those who follow the Way.

He is supremely successful in his encounters, but in the Art of War he perceives the way of peaceful and prosperous governance and disciplines himself to be a real human being. He becomes a reluctant hero to a host of people whose lives he has touched and been touched by. And inevitably, he has to put his skill against the naked blade of his greatest rival; Kojiro Sasaki.

Kuryu isn't your typical prosecutor. He was a bad apple in junior high school but eventually passed a high school equivalency test and later the bar exam. However, what really separates him from his ilk is his funky fashion sense and long brown hair. Kuryu has been transferred to Nijigaura, a small town in Yamaguchi Prefecture that hasn't seen a major crime in 11 years. However, right after he arrives a murder is committed, and the main suspect is a respected local businessman. Everyone in town thinks he's innocent except Kuryu, whose unorthodox investigation methods perplex not only the townspeople, but his colleagues as well.
