samurai

A man in a dark kimono holds another man in a light kimono in a tight grip, forcing him to extend his arm and hold a short sword horizontally, while the man being held looks forward with a tense expression; the scene is set against a slatted wooden wall. The camera then cuts to a wider view showing a group of men in kimonos on a raised platform, engaged in a sword practice session with wooden swords, observed by a group of people seated in front.
