A group of assassins wait by Sakurada Gate to kill the lord of the House of Ii, a powerful man in the Tokugawa government, which has ruled Japan for 300 years. They suspect a traitor in their midst, and their suspicions fall on Niiro, an impoverished ronin who dreams of samurai status, and Kurihara, an aristocratic samurai who befriends Niiro. Niiro longs to identify his father, knowing he is a high-ranking official who will disclose himself only if Niiro achieves samurai status. With American ships in Japan's harbors, cynicism among the assassins, and change in the air, Niiro resolves to reach ends that may prove ephemeral.<br /><br /><a href="http://asiandvdclub.org/details.php?id=35579&dllist=1">Asian DVD Club</a>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-9741833896370021652010-03-08T00:30:00.000-08:002010-03-08T00:34:36.863-08:00Sadatsugu Matsuda (1960)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEgfyD3b1y56QGl7Hxvb-D14V-kqy2O58JzK4wynCneHdh9b-V6l9H2ZFVLCRf6SSNj-oEeABVJK34NHe9-yveGa5NXPRefkqFKCmSG05AHzDs96EtE4fKJSwh_-14qLt5KluQP5rpNpA/s1600-h/00125cf8_medium.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEgfyD3b1y56QGl7Hxvb-D14V-kqy2O58JzK4wynCneHdh9b-V6l9H2ZFVLCRf6SSNj-oEeABVJK34NHe9-yveGa5NXPRefkqFKCmSG05AHzDs96EtE4fKJSwh_-14qLt5KluQP5rpNpA/s320/00125cf8_medium.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446178370361909154" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sadatsugu Matsuda (1960)</span><br />This is a story about a free-spirited man Ohara Shosuke whose life is turned upside down when he is ordered to serve the clan lord. Having lost his fortune and leading a life of leisure he is ill-prepared for the rigorous life of a samurai, the very definition of which is "To Serve.." But before that, he must solve the dilemma of two down-on-their- luck ronin who stand before him ready to duel to the death! This superb swordfighting comedy is filled with clever exchanges and glimpes of the powerful Japanese battle swords that were popular in that day.<br /><br /><span>Rapidshare</span><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346375386/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part01.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346375504/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part02.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 2</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346378306/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part03.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 3</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346383427/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part04.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 4</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346340872/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part05.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 5</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346340523/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part06.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 6</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346340591/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part07.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 7</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346357594/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part08.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 8</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346357339/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part09.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 9</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346357568/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part10.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 10 </a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/346362384/Shosuke.buyuden.aizu.bandaisan.1960.part11.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 11</a><br /><br />PW: malamuteLeaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-56651554003888325672010-03-08T00:25:00.000-08:002010-03-08T00:27:59.390-08:00Shoretsu shinsengumi - bakumatsu no doran (1960)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeaPFLiFNnktYVB58d_jMOpZpOjpeyN0Q0iKICh-sC24MvZpls2CRuRuv_lNdxbGBESAX2IzdiHcZtUZHXM3ZZ-5NEPZiE4LwpMO8wp2c0WEMvr8atjSBgRTj9E8jt2pMfLW3gilCmd80/s1600-h/0012923b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeaPFLiFNnktYVB58d_jMOpZpOjpeyN0Q0iKICh-sC24MvZpls2CRuRuv_lNdxbGBESAX2IzdiHcZtUZHXM3ZZ-5NEPZiE4LwpMO8wp2c0WEMvr8atjSBgRTj9E8jt2pMfLW3gilCmd80/s320/0012923b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446176609981802658" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Shoretsu shinsengumi - bakumatsu no doran (1960) </span><br />From its earliest beginnings as a group of ronin brought from Edo to protect the Shogun when he is in Kyoto to see His Imperial ighness, the group had to face difficulties both from within and without. Commander Serizawa Kamo's corrupt practices threaten the group's very existence, as they try to recover from the bad reputation he left them with. Their redemption comes when they learn of Katsura Kogoro plans to gather men at Kyoto's Ikedeya Inn for his attack on the city. Along with Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, Kondo leads the group in an attempt to save Japan from the rebels.<br /><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349091349/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part09.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349091349/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part09.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349100900/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part10.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349100900/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part10.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349101514/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part11.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349101514/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part11.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349104644/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part13.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349104644/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part13.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349111700/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part12.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349111700/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part12.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349122425/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part01.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349122425/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part01.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349125447/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part02.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349125447/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part02.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349134440/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part03.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349134440/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part03.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349147548/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part04.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349147548/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part04.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349150141/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part05.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349150141/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part05.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349159016/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part06.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349159016/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part06.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349173485/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part07.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349173485/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part07.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/349176825/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part08.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/349176825/Shinsengumi_-_Last_Days_of_the_Shogunate.avi.part08.rar</a></span><br /><br />pw: malamuteLeaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-54208136494947666502010-03-08T00:18:00.000-08:002010-03-08T00:29:29.661-08:00Bakumatsu zankoku monogatari (1964)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRqc2fEpFVDF5RM3_eVmWA0XvtiLg5V5YyuY7EFm0w8ugT1rFgYFi1UPpEa0RTSVM_7OEKsawOhe13_BSpsdz7_OGbhPwrRdUSkTbosL6GSe_OvS_r9T9bH2DuUbn6xw8PrPENKlw4UPs/s1600-h/0012e0a9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRqc2fEpFVDF5RM3_eVmWA0XvtiLg5V5YyuY7EFm0w8ugT1rFgYFi1UPpEa0RTSVM_7OEKsawOhe13_BSpsdz7_OGbhPwrRdUSkTbosL6GSe_OvS_r9T9bH2DuUbn6xw8PrPENKlw4UPs/s320/0012e0a9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446175178710265202" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bakumatsu zankoku monogatari (1964)</span><br />Beautifully filmed in widescreen black & white, Bakumatsu zankoku monogatari is known by sundry English titles. The subtitled 35 mm print I saw called it The Executioners but the current subtitled DVD Brutal Story at the End of the Tokugawa Shogunate comes closer to an accurate translation of the Japanese title. It's also known as Cruel Story of the Shogunate's Downfall or simply as A Cruel Story.<br /><br />This is a tale of Shinsen-gumi, the anti-royalist samurai organization of Kyoto about whom many films have been made, & many histories & novels written, many manga & anime drawn. They rose in power just before the Meiji Restoration as the Tokugawa period was coming to a close, & their goal was to preserve the Tokugawa government at any cost. The Shinsen Group were notoriously cruel & whenever any member of their group tried to leave the organization, they were hunted down & killed.<br /><br />This film version shows the Shinsen group as gross & dirty, some members have even gone insane. This ignores previous directors' tendency to clean up the group's image at least a little, often a lot. The historical & semi-historical figures include Kondo who assassinated the group's founder Serizawa in order to become its leader, & the deeply sadistic homosexual Hijikata who was the group's chief assassin, who summarily resolves internal strife with his sword. But in this film the events are viewed from slightly "outside" the core of Shinsengumi, by a naive young member. In an early scene, a Shinsen member questions the humanity of the group, resulting in his assassination. He is given a half-dozen sword cuts then allowed to bleed to death just outside the Shinsen enclave, a heartless, sad death.<br /><br />The main star is Hashizo Okawa, looking a bit chubby that year, but still beautiful. His leading lady is Junko Fuji best known for her yakuza series in which she plays the Red Peony Gambler (Hibotan bakuto, 1968, & further episodes). Supporting cast includes Sayuri Tachikawa, Ryohei Uchida, Choichiro Kawarazaki & Ko (Isao) Kimura. Hashizo Okawa plays Enami, who starts out idealizing the Shinsen group & joins out of admiration. He is a country bumpkin who wants to become a true samurai, & at first he seems rather weak-willed. He is confused by what he sees within the group & the first time he observes their extreme cruelty, he vomits. Yet when Enami gets to the point of actually volunteering to perform a beheading, he is clearly losing his innocence. Junko Fuji as Sato the gentle serving girl is the unhappy observer of Enami's corruption. For the mid-60s this was one of the bloodiest & grimmest samurai films & quite critical of the militarism of the samurai class. It was a low budget product filmed under tight deadline, but clearly both director & screenwriter took the job seriously & did a vastly better job that was required for them to remain employed. The cast was fine enough to really bring it off, & Hashizo was especially lucky to star in something this serious, at a time when he was typecast in tame family films as a happy go lucky sort of samurai. The film won a handful of awards when it was new, & it still deserves to be regarded a minor classic.<br /><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357457793/a_cruel_story.part5.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357457793/a_cruel_story.part5.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357472822/a_cruel_story.part6.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357472822/a_cruel_story.part6.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357473605/a_cruel_story.part9.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357473605/a_cruel_story.part9.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357474587/a_cruel_story.part7.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357474587/a_cruel_story.part7.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357474931/a_cruel_story.part8.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357474931/a_cruel_story.part8.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357491135/a_cruel_story.part1.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357491135/a_cruel_story.part1.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357492095/a_cruel_story.part2.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357492095/a_cruel_story.part2.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357492501/a_cruel_story.part3.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357492501/a_cruel_story.part3.rar</a></span><br /><span> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/357510079/a_cruel_story.part4.rar" class="smarterwiki-linkify">http://rapidshare.com/files/357510079/a_cruel_story.part4.rar</a></span><br /><br />pw: malamuteLeaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-2213026623858419772010-03-08T00:12:00.000-08:002010-03-08T00:17:16.551-08:00NOVA: Secrets of the Samurai Sword<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt74rufMzA-2n4sSQckcuGwcaplEGY_atss9TGV_o758aBRJqZclI-kxlJUUdBPgD4O1J4Lt8E1_LI-VPmolqYk0UQ4CG4D60EcOOWvxcxVPN7WacBTGoBJPmr5R4-DBCgoXhJt3FtaJk/s1600-h/Capture.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt74rufMzA-2n4sSQckcuGwcaplEGY_atss9TGV_o758aBRJqZclI-kxlJUUdBPgD4O1J4Lt8E1_LI-VPmolqYk0UQ4CG4D60EcOOWvxcxVPN7WacBTGoBJPmr5R4-DBCgoXhJt3FtaJk/s320/Capture.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446173857435381554" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOVA: Secrets of the Samurai Sword</span><br />For over a thousand years the Samurai sword has dominated the battlefields of Japan instilled fear and terror into every enemy it faced and evoked a spiritual way of life that continues even today.

The opening of the film sees him crawling in the mud and around slain soldiers to find the young lad who joined him in battle. Takezo mourns that "there'll be no more wars, and what shall I do ?".<br />The pair are sheltered by a woman and her daughter, who live by stealing from dead soldiers. All four are on the run, as Takezo has in fact deserted. And when Takezo is in turn deserted by the other three, be becomes an outlaw, killing to escape capture. But he feels obliged to return home, to pass on news and check on his sister's welfare.<br /><br />The game of cat and mouse has begun. The Shogun's vassal's men fail, and the job of capturing the fugitive falls to a wily priest. I found this film at least watchable and, at times, engrossing. I could well have imagined the great Mifune playing the lead role.<br />Takezo is bursting with vigour and aggression, seething like a wild beast. When he is captured, he is trussed up like a chicken and strung on a high tree to twist in the wind and "have his eyes picked out by the crows". During this scene, he holds a long dialogue with his captors, mainly the priest. His rasping, screeching and furious voice is nearly spellbinding.<br /><br />The performances are great all round. Apart from the lead actor, the wily priest gives a performance which runs the gamut from serious to hilarous. And the spiteful and scheming grandmother is a real blast too. This story is reportedly a classic and has been filmed many times. My views it that Takezo is a kind of Japanese everyman. Seething with passion but hemmed in by a society which no longer values warriors.<br /><br />A beast who is being coaxed towards spiritual awakening. Loyal to certain people, including family, but betrayed at unexpected times. And there is some simply beautiful scenery.

One day, he orders Takechiyo to an initiation rite in Yedo (today's Tokio). Takechiyo lives far away under the surveillance of Hotta Masamori, head of the Skura clan, where he was also raised. Hotta does suspect some kind of treachery, but he can not ignore the direct command of the Shogun. Therefore, he starts on his travel with Takechiyo and seven accompanying samurais. A large army under the command of Iba Shoemon, a vassal of the Shogun, attacks their night camp in the vicinity of a copper mine. Hotta dies in this first battle, but Takechiyo and the samurai manage to escape.

This left a large number of unemployed samurai with nothing to do, and their morale suffered. In order to raise their spirits, the Shogun’s Chief Advisor Okubo Hikozaemon suggests that they hold a ‘Festival of Swordsmen’ in the Shogun’s presence. Problems arise when some of the martial artists bring their personal grudges to the competition. Starring Otomo Ryutaro and Wakayama Tomisaburo as two of the strongest swordsmen in the nation, this film is loaded with surprises, and superb action. When Busshi Shirogoro (Otomo) meets the daughter of the late Lord Sanada Yukimura sparks fly as she tries to use the com-petition to carry out her vengeance against Shogun Iemitsu. Tension mounts as the competition nears, and a mysterious ronin (Wakayama) takes on his own vendetta against the popular Shirogoro, risking not only his life, but that of his wife as well. She is the sister of one of Yagyu’s top sword instructors and has secrets of her own!<br /><br />Japanese | Subtitle: French (hard coded)/English (soft coded)<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold;">RapidShare:</u><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334620571/festival_of_swordsmen.part1.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 1</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334620622/festival_of_swordsmen.part2.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 2</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334621095/festival_of_swordsmen.part3.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 3</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334649153/festival_of_swordsmen.part4.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 4</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334649312/festival_of_swordsmen.part5.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 5</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334649560/festival_of_swordsmen.part6.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 6</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334660485/festival_of_swordsmen.part7.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 7</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334594955/festival_of_swordsmen.part8.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 8</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/334594194/festival_of_swordsmen.part9.rar.html" target="_blank">Part 9</a><br /><br />PassWord: <span style="font-weight: bold;">malamute </span>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-79772297939370825652010-01-23T18:34:00.001-08:002010-01-23T18:37:25.598-08:00Zatoichi monogatari (1962)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQs7jXjx7_KM3O4MIkcIJYAscWOaa30Ds7dq9Wm0N0U5TzLWrNm-xl8FkDTmMgE-EOtATknz7JdLnDw13_5NZmVHgt32NAKMlj2-a6tEfl-fGqgJPf-59YaE9pGk3pkucHaDu3k5mhygQ/s1600-h/Capture.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQs7jXjx7_KM3O4MIkcIJYAscWOaa30Ds7dq9Wm0N0U5TzLWrNm-xl8FkDTmMgE-EOtATknz7JdLnDw13_5NZmVHgt32NAKMlj2-a6tEfl-fGqgJPf-59YaE9pGk3pkucHaDu3k5mhygQ/s320/Capture.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430129598663175986" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zatoichi monogatari (1962)</span><br />Kenji Misumi's Zatoichi Monogatari is the first film in the legendary Zatoichi film series starring Shintaro Katsu as Zatoichi, the blind masseur and master swordsman.

Hirokazu Koreeda's (Maborosi, After Life) latest is a gentle comedy-drama that deconstructs the legend of the brave Samurai warrior and the Bushido code of seeking honor through revenge. The title of the film means flower, and Hana wants to change the symbol of the cherry blossom associated with the warrior spirit to one that represents a peaceful and nurturing life. Engendered by the earthy humor of the underclass, the film has many laughs, a wonderful soundtrack of joyous Renaissance music, and colorful characters brought to life by an excellent ensemble cast, yet it meanders and lacks a single crystallizing moment that brings its point home.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.asiatorrents.com/details.php?id=3404bd27dfac3e4a31c0e120f0737e1e17d233f4">Torrent</a><br /><a href="http://www.nipponcinema.com/trailers/hana_the_tale_of_a_reluctant_samurai_trailer/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.nipponcinema.com/trailers/hana_the_tale_of_a_reluctant_samurai_trailer/">Trailer</a>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-44331596196979162522009-11-26T23:11:00.000-08:002010-03-08T00:45:22.945-08:00Muhomatsu No Issho (1958)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrdX96kXP8JkE5RAiVUfBDOtQdxFPPMe_gz3lakzMOd9CO2NKOdIyBqB1-WoFPEdQwAATW8S4lqNI10UwCrdWzDmevc5VTWwucnlHQ02iUaUpZTw1TYCHwySVuKPjxn_LQSTbzFvx64M/s1600/Muhomatsu_no_issho_poster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrdX96kXP8JkE5RAiVUfBDOtQdxFPPMe_gz3lakzMOd9CO2NKOdIyBqB1-WoFPEdQwAATW8S4lqNI10UwCrdWzDmevc5VTWwucnlHQ02iUaUpZTw1TYCHwySVuKPjxn_LQSTbzFvx64M/s320/Muhomatsu_no_issho_poster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408677902380982034" border="0" /></a>Not a Samurai flick, but I know a lot of people love Toshiro Mifune and this is definitely a classic.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Muhomatsu No Issho (1958) - Wild Matsu The Rickshaw Man</span><br />Starring Toshiro Mifune, directed by Hiroshi Inagaki. Matsugoro (Mifune) is a poor rickshaw driver whose animated spirit and optimistic demeanor make him a favorite of the town. Matsu helps an injured boy, Toshio, and is hired by the boy's parents, Kotaro and Yoshioko, to transport the boy to and from doctor appointments. Matsu comes to love the boy and his parents. When Toshio's father dies, Matsu becomes a surrogate father, helping to raise the boy and secretly falling in love with Toshio's mother Yoshioko. But Matsu knows there is a great gulf between their classes and there seems no hope that Matsu can ever be more than the rickshaw man to the mother and son. Tough and ready Mitsu, the rickshaw man, goes in for anything rough and tumble. His life changes, however, when he crosses paths with Toshio, a young boy who has injured himself. As thanks for helping the boy to the doctor, Toshio's parents, the Yoshiokas, invite Mitsu to dinner and he gladly accepts their offer. They become close and when Mr. Yoshioka dies from an illness, the family asks Mitsu to serve as the young boy's tutor. Mitsu does an exemplary job readying Toshio for school, instilling in him the honesty and honor which are so much a part of his own character.<br />After Toshio leaves for school, Mitsu evidences an interest in Mrs. Yoshioka, but their difference in station keeps him from expressing his desire. Mitsu's repressed attraction for the lovely widow grows, driving him to his death at the film's climactic end. The Rickshaw Man is a sentimental favorite of Japanese cinema.<br /><br /><br /><div class="center"><b>RS Links</b><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206653026/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part1.rar" target="_blank">Part 1</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206664940/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part2.rar" target="_blank">Part 2</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206674221/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part3.rar" target="_blank">Part 3</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206749270/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part4.rar" target="_blank">Part 4</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206760354/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part5.rar" target="_blank">Part 5</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206772750/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part6.rar" target="_blank">Part 6</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/206805074/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.part7.rar" target="_blank">Part 7</a><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/208980985/Muhomatsu_No_Issho__1958__The_Rickshaw_Man.srt" target="_blank">Corrected Subs</a></div>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-69179812500725809372009-11-26T20:26:00.000-08:002009-11-26T20:28:58.984-08:00National Geographic: Samurai Bow<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCgEIGs8r7z5RgVoItPISjFbztszhD9WRx4SxsUzsWE9gy8ndb-jRmT-D2UdGbrbx01Ub7SNQFR7i-bQoPKzSgX_THSJDH7nddcHatTS5GLaWBAuxU07Xsqzpj6GJD4UH-UqQvuwL-BU/s1600/0010d6de_medium.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCgEIGs8r7z5RgVoItPISjFbztszhD9WRx4SxsUzsWE9gy8ndb-jRmT-D2UdGbrbx01Ub7SNQFR7i-bQoPKzSgX_THSJDH7nddcHatTS5GLaWBAuxU07Xsqzpj6GJD4UH-UqQvuwL-BU/s320/0010d6de_medium.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408635275692090434" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />National Geographic: Samurai Bow </span><br />With stunning dramatic reconstruction we reveal the ancient way of the Samurai and explore how the bow could avert wars when put in the hands of a true master.<br />Samurai Bow explores the violence, beauty and reverie which surround the Samurai's earliest weapon.

The tale is elegantly simple: A lone samurai (Toshiro Mifune) takes on a corrupt town run by two rival clans of gangsters. The pristine transfer, beaucoup bonuses and inclusion of the sequel, <i>Sanjuro</i>, make this boxed set a cinephile's dream. Each film features an audio commentary by film buff Stephen Prince.<br /><br /><b>RS Links - Yojimbo - Dual Audio Remaster</b><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259834943/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.001" target="_blank">Part 01</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259836924/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.002" target="_blank">Part 02</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259848397/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.003" target="_blank">Part 03</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259853971/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.004" target="_blank">Part 04</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259859824/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.005" target="_blank">Part 05</a><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259866369/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.006" target="_blank">Part 06</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259874164/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.007" target="_blank">Part 07</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259885471/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.008" target="_blank">Part 08</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259898260/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.009" target="_blank">Part 09</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259910098/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.010" target="_blank">Part 10</a><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259915801/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.011" target="_blank">Part 11</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259933872/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.012" target="_blank">Part 12</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/259941107/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.013" target="_blank">Part 13</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/260099460/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.014" target="_blank">Part 14</a>|<a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/260103282/Yojimbo__1961_.with_commentary.DaveRip.7z.015" target="_blank">Part 15</a><br /> <br /> <b>RS Links -

It's roots lie deep in Japanese culture and the spirit of the samurai warrior. Kendo originated a thousand years ago From Kenjutsu, an earlier ancestral form of swordsmanship using real swords on the battlefield and traces its origins back to Japan's ancient martial culture. In 1952, The All Japan Kendo Federation was formed. Since then, Kendo has spread worldwide and has become international in scope. Mastery of kendo is achieved through repetition training in the basics and the practice of the ten Nihon Kendo Kata. These kata consist of two-man sets, which use techniques that have actually been tested in combat with real swords. These kata make use of the ancient techniques of Kenjutsu as adapted to modern Kendo. On this video you will see the ten kata of Kendo performed masterfully by members of The All Japan Kendo Federation. This rare instructional material shows you every detail of these kata and the correct way to perform each kata.<br /><br /><br /> <div class="center"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/87325972/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part1.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/87325972/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part1.rar</a><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/87345424/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part2.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/87345424/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part2.rar</a><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/87385269/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part3.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/87385269/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part3.rar</a><br /> <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/87348268/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part4.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/87348268/Nihon_Kendo_Kata.part4.rar</a></div><br /></div>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-10556038854198258682009-07-16T13:39:00.000-07:002009-07-16T13:42:49.972-07:00Kurosawa (2001) [Documentary]<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkRdu5fH9W9jefFdRV5HfQEweHk4_yFQJmwVdT9TFOX1NMXZXn5WdQtL1pKPclREwqdkUb4ugkrd7O-ntvO-yPZC_RU-E_zP4IsPURbn-z06cqyKmxSriF9BzBvnBneXnZF79aYs0W_Tg/s1600-h/kurasa.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 289px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkRdu5fH9W9jefFdRV5HfQEweHk4_yFQJmwVdT9TFOX1NMXZXn5WdQtL1pKPclREwqdkUb4ugkrd7O-ntvO-yPZC_RU-E_zP4IsPURbn-z06cqyKmxSriF9BzBvnBneXnZF79aYs0W_Tg/s320/kurasa.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359161053443980914" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kurosawa (2001) [Documentary] </span><br />Originally broadcast on PBS, the superlative Kurosawa is likely to remain the definitive documentary on the life and work of Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa. The film follows the conventional documentary approach of a chronology of Kurosawa's career, with requisite film clips and interviews with many of Kurosawa's surviving collaborators and family members. Western admirers like James Coburn, Clint Eastwood, and Japanese film scholar Donald Richie are also interviewed, and director Adam Low provides a more contemplative appreciation of Kurosawa's life and work. Enhanced by Sam Shepard's straightforward narration and Paul Scofeld's evocative readings from Kurosawa's elusive autobiography, the film functions as both honorable tribute and touching retrospective, especially when the surviving crewmembers of Rashomon are assembled for a 50-year reunion filled with anecdotes and insiders’ perspective. All in all, this is must-see viewing for any lover of film.<br /> <br />From Ran to Madadayo, Akira Kurosawa set new boundaries for world cinema, producing a string of masterpieces unrivaled in motion picture history. In the first major documentary to be made since his death in 1998, Kurosawa's family and colleagues are joined by critics from Japan and America to produce a comprehensive assessment of his achievement.

The Great Lord Hidetora Ichimonji has decided to step aside to make room for the younger blood of his three sons, Taro, Jiro, and Saburo, the Lord's only wish now being to live out his years as an honored guest in the castle of each of his sons in turn. While the older two sons flatter their father, the youngest son attempts to warn him of the folly of expecting the three sons to remain united; enraged at the younger son's attempt to point out the danger, the father banishes him. True to the younger son's warning, however, the oldest Son soon conspires with the second son to strip The Great Lord of everything, even his title. <i> </i><br /><br /><a href="http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Akira-Kurosawa-Ran-1985-DivX-Ita-Mp3-TNT-Village/5324da811ff861e454f3a3c000bfb04864a668e759c8">1 gig version</a>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-5243920016487041692009-06-26T11:49:00.000-07:002010-09-23T12:28:53.788-07:00Samurai Revolution Trilogy Box Set<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDawX4kbcvVEKKX2P9JAUl8Ua8yU7j7j6Umiup7n795QDspWI5I5JeFIhGkPm7hqQ5AAfMFrHN3Ls9B7ynG1T8D_rdzDPEh3X3OtRn2EMRM6JwFMQiJZ5FfCW2w9YM6a6hNJMqhN8u46s/s1600-h/909822Samurai+Revolution.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351711232632025266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDawX4kbcvVEKKX2P9JAUl8Ua8yU7j7j6Umiup7n795QDspWI5I5JeFIhGkPm7hqQ5AAfMFrHN3Ls9B7ynG1T8D_rdzDPEh3X3OtRn2EMRM6JwFMQiJZ5FfCW2w9YM6a6hNJMqhN8u46s/s320/909822Samurai+Revolution.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 250px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 154px;" /></a><br />
<b>Juusan-nin no shikaku (1963</b>)<br />
The story of Thirteen Assassins begins with a vassal of the Akashi clan committing seppuku in front of a daimyo's house. As it turns out, it's in protest to his lord raping and killing a girl and her samurai husband. This scandal is quickly covered up as the Akashi lord happens to be the Shogun's younger brother. What makes matters worse is that this reckless scoundrel will be soon appointed to a higher political position which could prove to be detrimental for the entire Shogunate. In response to that, a plot is hatched: 13 assassins will undertake the suicide mission to murder him on his way back from Edo.<br />

<b>Dai satsujin - 1964 </b><br />
The second chapter in Eiichi Kudo's Samurai Revolution trilogy bears so many similarities to its predecessor, Thirteen Assassins, that it might as well be a re-imagining of the same story. In the spirit of the anti-establishment sentiment that was prevalent in the jidai-geki of the early 60's, The Great Duel revolves around a group of revolutionaries who hatch a plot to ambush and assassinate a chancelor in an attempt to keep a corrupt, power-hungry minister from taking control of the Shogunate. The austere, very disciplined style is enhanced by beautiful black and white cinematography, sparse use of music and a pacing that doesn't rush to its final conclusion but takes time to examine and shed light on the characters. Kudo might be little known to the west, but certain scenes in The Great Duel reveal him to be a skillfull craftsman. Mis-en-scene is utilized to such effect that when a poor samurai has to murder his family (off screen), you'd be forgiven for completely missing it. The ambush in the finale is similar in many respects to the one from Thirteen Assassins; more loud and messy than stylized. In some ways, it anticipates Kinji Fukasaku's chaotic style from the early 70's. But what realism is achieved that way is diluted by the occasionally silly swordfighting (extras just waving swords at each other) and the bodyguards' hard effort not to kill our heroes. All in all it is a solid jidai-geki that combines politics, drama and an action-packed finale but doesn't quite rise to the cream of the crop.<br />

<b>Ju-ichinin no samurai - 1966<br />
</b>Eleven samurai are sent to avenge the murder of their lord —and guard the future of their small clan— who was murdered by the arrogant and cowardly brother of the Shogun, in this little-known, superbly-directed and acted 1960's Samurai classic. The film features several intriguing plot-twists as well as provide authentic glimpses into both the Samurai ethos and, interestingly, its interplay with hostile political forces which two decades later (following the story's own periodization) would spell the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the beginning of the Meiji Restoration (as seen, namely, through one antifeudal and inventively modern character who joins the protagonists in their quest).<br />

He and his mother find themselves evicted from their home and forced to live in a hovel. But Bunshiro is a talented swordsman and after a time he is reinstated and becomes a magistrate, filling the same job as his father. As he tours the countryside he discovers the political maneuvering which led to his fathers death is still widespread, and his childhood love who is now one of the lord's concubines has become an unwilling pawn.

The fight scenes , tho admirably staged and completely credible (and shocking in their immediacy), are merely the seasoning on a powerful tale of good vs. evil. The stylistic flourishes and acrobatic excesses which plague most other martial arts movies are completely absent, and that is a welcome and long overdue development. The script seamlessly fuses the protagonists' journeys of self-discovery with the setting in which the story unfolds. The director's calm, measured approach is refreshing in its economy, a rare thing in a martial arts film. There is a charming honesty about the whole project that makes it difficult to resist..<br /><br />As the two protagonists wrestle with their own diametrically opposed natures and strive to discover the secret of their training, the inevitable standoff between them is subdued but satisfying, like the film itself. The supporting characters (and I'm thinking mainly of the evil army general), though two-dimensional, are well-written and performed. The acting is uniformly excellent, a laudable accomplishment since apparently many of the martial artists are non-actors..<br /><br /><a href="http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Black-Belt-2007-DVDRip-XviD-JAP-MOC-rarbg-com/367875eabfbd881c75ad2d95c0b4c66d53dd2e2c7eda">Torrent</a>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422699198060771674.post-4084265036545005072009-06-08T12:48:00.000-07:002009-06-08T12:51:24.315-07:00Miyamoto Musashi (1961)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71lQFCiTSJudbM_kfIZHpfIuUxCuvC3wS9FuF8PMJTOUBuizUpShIurex1oRKcY8zNSgsmxQtIua_pOLXgsRptl4jaa_HwX1jYUJBt150jqX0I1PjUUjSN512_yHGVL30gB0HoiTpr-4/s1600-h/musashi1dvd169kg6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71lQFCiTSJudbM_kfIZHpfIuUxCuvC3wS9FuF8PMJTOUBuizUpShIurex1oRKcY8zNSgsmxQtIua_pOLXgsRptl4jaa_HwX1jYUJBt150jqX0I1PjUUjSN512_yHGVL30gB0HoiTpr-4/s320/musashi1dvd169kg6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345046422315951922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Miyamoto Musashi (1961) </span><br />Miyamoto Musashi was the most famous swordsman in Japanese history. His legendary exploits have been portrayed in many books and films. The most famous version of his life story was written by Yoshikawa Eiji, and formed the basis of the Academy Award winning SAMURAI TRILOGY starring Mifune Toshiro which is the version most Americans are familiar with. While that trilogy is a great introduction to the samurai, it omits much of the most interesting and important parts of the story. The best and most complete version of the Musashi story was filmed 6 years later as a 5 part series starring Nakamura Kinnosuke and directed by Uchida Tomu. Needless to say, this has always been the most popular version of the Musashi story in Japan, with all the important developments and duels missing from the earlier production. This series also featured noted Yakuza star Takakura Ken in the pivotal role of Sasaki Kojiro, Musashi’s arch enemy, his last samurai role until 1994. Alternately known as ZEN & SWORD, or UNTAMED FURY we have the entire series available on home video with English subtitles for the very first time. Also known as UNTAMED FURY, this film starts as 2 survivors of the Battle Of Sekigahara struggle to escape. The two childhood friends, Takezo and Matahachi manage to get away, and are helped by a mother and daughter who rob the dead of their weapons and armor to sell for a modest living. When brigands come to take the women’s hoard, Takezo bravely steps forward and defeats them single-handedly. When he tries to go back to his hometown he’s hunted down like a dog by the victorious Tokugawa forces, and has to survive cruel treatment. This film introduces us to some of the main characters in Musashi’s life who are seen throughout the entire series.<br /><a href="http://asiandvdclub.org/details.php?id=9906&dllist=1"><br />Asian DVD Club</a>Leaf Dharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17467341808701387652noreply@blogger.com0
