This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.

When i've done camera test, after we've shot and I've seen the monitor with the glasses (wearing a Kimono) and looking by myself in 3D. Oh my god. Especially for a Samurai film. I've never seen that. It's kind of a culture shock.

I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I'm very proud of this.

I've done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.

I think it's very hard to direct foreign language actors, but Carl Rinsch found a great way. A special super visional way.

It was a black and white film [at first]. And then it changed to colour film, and I was surprised and culture shocked when I was six or seven years old. And then HD, then 3D now. So what's going? What's coming next? It's so exciting.
