I love Japan as well, the people, the culture. I have an uncle who fought in the pacific who thought they were a Great Noble People (he was stationed after hostilities as well). I think as a matter of fact, if we valued our OWN PAST like the Japanese do THEIR own past, this would be a mute post. I give; its our own fault we are rediscovering, instead of teaching. Still sad though.

Does is matter than I am only kinda sorta into either the Western or Japanese swords? I prefer the Chinese weapons...
Btw, "Reclaiming the Blade" supposedly went to theaters last week. Anyone know Where? It's nowhere near me but I am more than willing to drive to catch it...

It doesn't matter what anybody likes . I just think we need to remember our past. JSA people give appreciation to the West all the time, I just get bummed that it doesn't filter down to "flying ninja boys". Maybe "Reclaiming The Blade" will have an impact and open up a new level of understanding.

Reclaiming the blade will only be seen by people who have an interest in swords of some kind, ie already are somewhat knowledgeable at least. The general public won't go see it.
Sorry if I'm a bit cynical but... I'm a scientist, and I've lost hope in the general public or the media ever getting science right. Swords are a fairly technical topic, and I expect the same level of constant "not getting it".

All that said, Who knows Where Reclaiming the Blade is playing? I am more than willing to drive to see it, but I need to know where to drive to...

the reclaiming the blade website doesn't say anything about it being released. I checked yesterday.
