SHINTARO THE SAMURAI - Vol. 2 - 4 Disc Box Set
Price: $35.00
Description:
Includes all 13 episodes from Season Two of the popular Japanese television serial considered an unrivalled classic of the genre by martial arts and samurai fans.
Filmed in black-and-white, the series was based in part on historical
events, but it borrowed heavily from the Japanese historical romance genre. The producers compensated for its low budget by using real historical locations around Japan, including the imposing feudal castles from the era. Despite its massive popularity in Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, the series was not widely screened elsewhere and its fame remains largely restricted to those countries.
Set in 17th Century Japan, the series portrayed the adventures of a roving samurai, Akikusa Shintaro (whose real name is Matsudaira Nobuchiyo). Shintaro is the older half-brother of Ienari, the 11th Tokugawa Shogun. Because he is the son of a concubine, he has no claim to power, so he assumes the guise of a wandering swordsman (along with the name Shintaro) to seek out and eliminate plots by rival warlords, in this way protecting his younger brother, who is still a minor.
