Samurai Who Read the Bible: Home use DVD
Life Productions
53-minute documentary plus 20 extra minutes in extra features. Host Yuri Mori interviews Yoshimasa Moribe, author of the book of the same title. Five Samurai who surrounded Sakamoto Ryohma encountered the Bible and Christianity through the earliest Protestant missionaries who came to Japan 150 years ago. These men, including Saigo Takamori and Katsu Kaishu, were leaders at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate. Little known, surprising facts reveal that the Bible had a great influence on these men and thus on Japanese history and culture. ¥3,990
