Sanada Maru, A Japanese Historical TV series

[transmaster]

Sanada Maru (Sanadamaru on IMDB) Is one of the many fantastic historical TV dramas produced in Japan we rarely see in the States. Sanada Maru is about the last great Battlefield commander in war torn 16th century Japan. Sanada Masayuki Lord and daimyō head of the Sanada Clan. I happened to run across a clip of the show on YouTube. I am total sucker for anything Viking, or Feudal Japan. During Sengoku Period (1454 to 1615). The clip showed Masayuki skillfully defending a clan castle from the attack of 2 allied clans. I was looking for where I could watch the 50 episodes. Have not found them yet but episode #1 is available on Internet Archive. As with all Japanese produced historical dramas the accuracy of the armor, weapons. placement is without fault.

Edit: I located the entire series in the NHK Library in Internet Archives

Nearly all of my favorite historical treatments of the nation called, in English, "Japan", are set between circa January 1943 and 2 September 1945.
