hi, one of my fav,s I took the samurai aged pic a couple of years ago with members of the Iaido club I belong too. We also did two 1 hour documentaries for the Yesterday Channel, Ninja and the 47 Ronin. It took about 5 days of filming in an abandoned fort in kent and Hertfordshire, quite trying we were 10 hours a day fighting and acting in full armour. The suit on the right is one of mine I also make Japanese armour and clothing.I like feudal Japan, a very interesting subject.

Take a look at Musashi Miyamoto the greatest samurai/swordsman and Japanese icon, over 60 kills to his name. He wrote The book of five rings which is still used by Japanese CO's today and he is a legend.Thank you Andy, my interest comes from a TV series called Shogun, starring the actor Richard Chamberlain ? I don't know how accurate this series was but I really did enjoy it. Any TV series with historical content gets my attention really, many HBO series have quite a lot of "truth" in them and that's what gets my interest.
