I'm currently watching the "Hidden Fortress", directed by Kurosawa and starring on of the greatest actor's of all time, Toshiro Mifune. Feudal Japan was a truly rough place! It's so hard to understand as an American a place that had such a strict and rigid class system. One was born, lived and died as a peasant. If you were lucky, your farm wasn't struck by a famine, sickness, or bandits. In which case, you didn't starve to death. And here I was complaining about heavy traffic this morning.
