I'm mid-way thru the series, and am enjoying it immensely. The Japanese roots/culture is just,.. awe inspiring. The importance they place(ed) in: Honor,Loyalty,Bravery,Honesty(to name few) The womans servitude to her Husband? Amazingly wonderful. The only thing i wouldn't support, is the abuse of Authority, with anyone ESPECIALLY to one's own wife. I mean. How can a man repay, such wonderful,dedicated wife with cruelty? That's b/s. Also. I/we, all live life, depending on others,some way, or other. To one degree,or other,etc. Wouldn't the world be so Heavenly, if Old Japanese virtues, were firmly ingrained in Humanity? Im pleased, in how Japan is our Ally. May G-D thru True-CHRIST, find HIS Way into Japanese more thoroughly, before the End. Ohh!! Watch this series!! It's a 10 in every aspect of film! Haha
