To celebrate what would have been Toshiro Mifune's 100th birthday, they're showing Toshiro Mifune movies all day on TCM! I just watched Sanjuro - The Seven Samurai will be on tonight at 7PM CST.

I made a day of it. I watched Sanjuro, Red Bearf, High and Low, and Seven Samurai. I couldn't stay up to watch Rashomon, Yojimbo or Throne of Blood. I had seen all of them before except for High and Low.
I just wish that some of the film stills could have been in color so I could see the color of the costumes. I have that same wish for a lot of John Ford movies as well. Would love to know the actual color of Clair Trevor's dress in Stagecoach for example. Yet, being in black & white with the contrasts of light & dark adds a lot to many of these films.

Apropos of the topic, has anyone ever adapted the THW system to a chambara setting?

I haven't done so, myself, but someone on either the old forum or the Yahoo group was adapting By Savvy and Steel for Samurai dueling. I don't know how far they got.

Thanks, AF. I wonder how much interest there would be. Bushido was one of my fav rpgs back in the day. I like to play loner characters, or loner-and-sidekick, rather than adventuring parties, and that fits the Japanese heroic tradition.
