Reiko Domon and the quilters from Yuza-machi also loved Beamish when we visited in September 2010, especially the pub (lol) and the viewing of the quilts on the bed in one of the houses, which we arranged specially - Beamish will do this for even a small group visit and it was lovely to see some of the really dense quilting esp on the early quilts.<br /><br />'The Last Samurai' - I only saw it once, years ago, and have to admit I was mainly watching for Hiroyuki Sanada (the guy who beats down Tom Cruise in the sword fight in the rain) - he's an amazing actor. A lot of the locations didn't look right to me though. Didn't know there was another mountain that doubled as Fuji-san.Susan Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673783619090301452.post-69853577768185145822012-03-01T00:31:59.972+00:002012-03-01T00:31:59.972+00:00I didn't see the movie but even at a passing g...I didn't see the movie but even at a passing glance I would never mistake that mountain for Fuji-san.
