Greetings fellow dojo floor polishers,

I`ve been trying to obtain a first generation copy of a documentary video. Its probably a bit of a long shot but I thought that as this forum has so many visitors and contributors someone out there in the "big blue" might be able to help.
The programme is a look at the life and work of the late National Living (sadly no more) Treasure, Tahei Yonemitsu. He was an artist in the Higo tradition who produced iron tsuba decorated with fine gold overlay (nunome). The copy i`ve seen had an english ( American ) commentary and ran for about half an hour.
Any help in locating a copy would be gratefully recieved.
Infomation about any similar videos would also be welcome, although I`m sure I have just about everything worth watching on sword forging and polishing.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Ford Hallam
