"Who rushes upon my sword kills himself."
A collection of books, movies, and music that will immerse you in the world of the samurai. These are organized by category and then slightly weighted from my more favorites to least favorites. Items which I have yet to view/read/hear are at the bottom of each category.

I think I am officially through the easily acquired and more well known US movie and DVD releases. Time to track down some of the more rare gems.
To start off I’ve purchased these off Ebay:“Daredevil in the Castle”
“Tenchu (Hitokiri)”
“Heaven and Earth (TenTo ChiTo)”
Ebay Store: * Classic Samurai Movies
Merchant Review:*
High quality pirate copies. Sad. Oh well.

Added “Shinsengumi”. Slight re-ordering of movies: pushed “Bushido Blade” where it belongs (dead last), and moved “Incident At Blood Pass” up to where I think it belongs in the mix.
