Welcome to the samurai action blog. The samurai films in Japan are like the Western film of the United States. Both were once very popular, but not as much now. Both themes pop up every so often bringing up the hopes for some sort of revival, but that has not yet happened. In 2010, I published a book, titled, Sword of the Undead, which re-told Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, with a samurai twist. (Click here for excerpt)

Japanese word for the Day - Bakufu

Bakufu literally means tent government, and is used for the type of government under the shoguns, so loosely translated, it is military government.  Thi sis a term you will hear a lot when watching movies that that place during the Edo period, and there is some involvement with the government.
