Back post 1: Eigamura

Sorry it has been awhile, I have been pretty busy.
Eigamura can be translated into English as movie village. The place in Kyoto called Eigamura is a small called enclosure that looks like a village inside (hence the name) and was, and occasionally still it, the set for Chambara movies, hence the rest of the name. For those of you who dont know what Chambara means, that is the name of the style of cheesy samurai flicks! This entire outdoor village, is a set. There was a museum in a big building next to it, which had all sorts of other movie stuff, mostly Power Rangeresquethings, KamenRider, there was a little about anime. Cool beans. At the gift shop, they had all sorts of props (not the real thing) and other gift type things. I bought a magazine. Aren't you proud of me? I bought a magazine that wasnt bikes or porn! The magazine is called Jidai Gekijou magazine. That can be roughly translated as "Period Drama magazine". How cool is that!
