Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman – Volume 02: Tale of Zatoichi Continues $16.96 In this, the second film in the acclaimed Blind Swordsman series, Zatoichi (Shintaro Katsu), the roving warrior and masseur, is hired to tend the weary muscles of a famous and powerful nobleman. However, Zatoichi learns that the nobleman is dangerous and unstable, and leaves in fear of his life. The nobleman’s henchmen believe Zatoichi has learned more than he should know about their master’s mental illness, and they set out to silence him before he can tell his story. Forced to battle the nobleman’s bodyguards, Zatoichi makes short work of them, but this hardly stops the mad leader and his underlings, and before long Zatoichi discovers a deadly samurai named Yoshiro has been contracted to kill him — an expert killer who is no less dangerous for having only one arm.

Soul of the Samurai $14.95 Thomas Cleary's translation of Code of the Samurai introduced the social, political, and organizational principles of samurai culture, including loyalty to family, a sense of service and duty, and the rules for dealing with allies and enemies. In Soul of the Samurai , Cleary delves into the key influence of Zen on the samurai's combat style, from its emphasis on detachment-meaning a willingness to sacrifice life (including one's own)-to the attempt to clear the mind and "be in the moment," which freed the swordsman's mind from distractions and allowed him to act in an instant. Including translations of Yagyu Munenori's Book of the Sword , and Takuan Soho's Inscrutable Subtlety of Immovable Wisdom and The Peerless Sword , the teachings in Soul of the Samurai represent the recording and codification of these beliefs in the seventeenth century. |

Samurai Wisdom $24.95 One of the best known translators of the wisdom of Asia, Thomas Cleary now adds a new book to his samurai canon with Samurai Wisdom , new translations of five classic works on bushido . His previous works, Code of the Samurai and Soul of the Samurai , focused on the practical aspects and the more spiritual, Zen side of the samurai, respectively. Samurai Wisdom , authored by the scholar Yamaga Soko or his disciples, provides the core ideals and lessons that taught the samurai how to lead a proper life under the martial philosophy of bushido . Yamaga's writings inspired the transformation of the samurai from a feudal warrior class to a group with great intellectual, political and ethical leadership and influence. The classic works translated in Samurai Wisdom , despite being over 400 years old, are as timeless and applicable today as Sun Tzu's famous work, The Art of War . |

The Swordsman $18.38 Recently returned from school in England, the scion of one feuding Scottish clan, Alexander MacArden (Larry Parks, The Jolson Story), happens upon the beautiful niece of the rival Clan Glowan, Lady Barbara (a very young Ellen Drew). Of course, they fall deeply in love, despite their families’ generations-long hatred, which only strengthens young MacArden’s resolve to bring an end to the barbaric warring of the clans. But MacArden’s charms and arguments are wasted against the savage hostility of the Glowan Clan, especially that of Robert (played by George Macready, with even more than his usual supreme evilness). This swashbuckler is a Technicolor treat with beautiful costuming — including the distinct tartans of the clans to match the Scottish accents of the cast. Directed by Joseph H. Lewis (My Name is Julia Ross, The Big Combo). Newly remastered. 1947/color/110 min/NR/fullscreen. |

Samurai Strategies $14.95 The most famous combat strategist in Japanese history was Musashi Miyamoto, a warrior who lived from 1584 to 1645. Miyamoto fought his first duel to the death when he was 13, killing a veteran warrior more than twice his age. By the time he was 29 he had killed more than 60 other warriors in duels and was a legend in his own time. Shortly before his death, Musashi recorded his philosophy, strategies and tactics in a short treatise entitled Go Rin Sho —The Book of Five Rings. An esoteric read for anyone not versed in Japanese culture and language, Go Rin Sho has now been distilled to present the fundamentals of Miyamoto's tactics and explain them in the modern context of business, politics and war. Samurai Strategies is the result. Compiled by renowned Japanologist Boye Lafayette De Mente, it is more precise and practical as a handbook for winning than The Art of War by China's most famous military strategist, Sun Tzu. This hardcover edition features a new introduction by the author and additional commentary in each chapter by well-known Japanese author and samurai expert Michihiro Matsumoto. |

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal $25.46 This special director’s cut combines the first two SAMURAI X OVAs (aka RUROUNI KENSHIN), featuring additional footage never before seen in the US. Distinguished by their markedly higher production values, the OVA’s offer excellent animation, and serve as something of a prequel to the TV series. Enormously popular, SAMURAI X takes place in the 19th century and is the story of a wandering swordsman, or samurai, named Kenshin. The episode begins with our hero as an eight year old boy traveling through the countryside with a group that includes his family. Most of the group is killed by a gang of bandits in a fight, but young Kenshin is spared. He is soon taken in by a master who sees something in the young boy, and decides to teach him the Mitsurugi sword technique. This begins Kenshin’s life as an assassin, and he becomes the best there is. His trade leads him to cross paths with a beautiful young woman name Tomoe, a meeting that will change the course of his life. |
