Lists of Bests: Rew's "I Samurai" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/25119 "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.
