Mibu Gishi Den

After discussing Mibu Gishi Den last night over sake, I learned some interesting things about this movie. First…. only one of my Japanese companions had seen it. Second, although it was translated by either the director or this website as “When the Last Sword is Drawn”, apparently Mibu Gishi Den actually, literally, breaks down as follows:

Mibu is a part of Kyoto. Gishi means samurai or is a type of samurai or somesuch, and Den means story. So….

Mibu Gishi Den = Kyoto Samurai Story

Very interesting…. Now I just have to find it… I will look tomorrow in Akihabara…
