You could try some samurai flicks -- "Heaven and Earth" (1990) and "Samurai Banners" (1969) are versions of the (fourth) Battle of Kawanakajima. Okay, it probably isn't any more accurate than John Wayne at the Alamo, but what the heck, they're supposed to have more slicing'n'dicing than a Vegamatic convention. For books, a bibliography appears here: http://samurai.bigsitecity.com/rec.html

Thanks for the info. From what I have read "...Kenshin was a devout Zen Buddhist who loved nothing more than to fight and drink..." it sounds like an interesting history.
