The Last Samurai

Hello, Karstuhl here!

We watched a great movie tonight: The Last Samurai. It is an American movie, but most of the story takes place in 19th century Japan. As a Shiba Inu, I am always interested in Japan, the land of my ancestors. I may not know much about Japan of that time, but it seemed to me that the movie gave a fairly accurate account of what Japan was like in those days, as a background to the fictious story. Mum, Granny, and other older Shiba Inus have told me there are movies which give an even better account of 19th century Japan. Most of these are Japanese, of course. You cannot expect an American movie to be the best at depicting Japan, but it is good. This is worth some praise.
