The Japanese Sword, while once a symbol of wartime aggression, is also deeply embedded in Japan’s rich history and spiritual heritage. In order to better understand the past and build a bridge between cultures in the present, an American filmmaker attempts to return one of these surrendered swords to its original owner.

A Kind Hearted Act By A Couple Of American Brothers On Behalf Of A Very Grateful Japanese Family!
The reviewers Expo22 and the ignorant bluewatercolor-39303 saw nothing but negativity from this extremely kind gesture. Its people like them that make it so hard to make life so easy. And by the way bluewatercolor-39303 you greedy think only of money stupid dimwit, the sword had no monetary value attached to it at all; if you had actually had any brainpower to understand what you were watching and listening to, you would have heard that is was 1930’s hand forged but not worth anything.

As a documentary it was very amatuer in its unfolding but thats to be expected when you are not in the film and television profession. It could have been put together much much better but that is not really the point at all about this human kindness feature. The only important thing to take away from this film is that one family group had the kindness, the great wish and the heart felt decency to return the stolen property (and it was stolen, make no mistake) to the family it legally belonged to!

One sword that I hope very much will be returned to Japan is one made by the greatest Japanese sword maker ever, Masamune. The sword in question is the famous ‘Honjo Masamune’. It was the symbol of the Tokugawa shogunate during almost all of the Edo period (one of Japan’s longest and greatest periods of prosperity). Handed down through the family it became 1 of 14 of Tokugawa’s swords that were handed over to the Americans at the end of WW2! One, or more, of the officers involved with the sword gathering then stole it/them and it has never been seen again since. It would be a good thing if the family of that officer returned it but, if they sold it to a dealer maybe the dealer will own up! 🙂

Informative Documentary
I liked the way this documentary explored and kept a focus on the differing views the Japanese and the Americans’ hold regarding teaching/remembering WWII history and their country’s role. Maybe it’s understandable due to their side losing the war. I believe the quest to find the original owners’ family was a worthwhile effort and for that one family, it may have mattered. Yes, this is a real human interest story, along with many historical facts, such as the value and meaning of the sword to pre-WWII generations. I highly recommend.
