My name is Jon and I live in Los Angeles. I've visited Japan a lot so that's what this blog is about...visiting Japan, Japanese history and samurai movies.
Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

The image in my mind of Nobunaga's Azuchi castle absolutely dazzled me when I read Eiji Yoshikawa's book Taiko. And when I found out that there still remained even ruins of this great castle, I went and saw it for myself.
From what I heard from the streets while in Japan, Katen no shiro is a must see. I was just bummed out that time was not on my side. I have the novel and should start to read it once the Okehazama books are read.
Just saw it - of all places on a United flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco. Fantastic movie, though I suspect it's been shortened down and censored for airline use.
Katen no shiro was given the English title Castle Under Fiery Skies.
THat looks so good, I'm salivating!

I really hope I will be able to see it with subtitles someday.

ReplyDeleteYou're lucky. I have never visited the ruins but I would love to someday.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your website by the way Kyushudan.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard from the streets while in Japan, Katen no shiro is a must see. I was just bummed out that time was not on my side. I have the novel and should start to read it once the Okehazama books are read.
ReplyDeleteThen I REALLY hope to be able to see it someday.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome. Thanks for the trailers. I hadn't heard of it. It's too bad it will be another two years till it hits the states.
ReplyDeleteThere are some familiar faces in the cast.
I will have to read the book. I'm also going to have to investigate 'the Okehazama' novels too.
Also, Kyushudan's website rocks! I'll have to spend a few hours there tonight. Very well done.
any idea of what the English name of the book / movie will be?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if that has been decided yet.

ReplyDeleteKaten no shiro was given the English title Castle Under Fiery Skies.
