During my time living in Boston I decided to practice a new martial art. For years I had been practicing Karate in Chile. I found the Boston Aikikai dojo and in it Vu Ha Sensei, a top aikido master who's family immigrated to the US from Vietnam. Vu Ha is a big fan of Akira Kurosawa's cinema and this film is na ode to both his passion to Iaido and Aikido and the cinema of the Japanese master director.
