| Trivia | The film is set towards the end of the Meiji Period. The Meiji Period saw considerable western influence throughout Japanese culture, politics and society, but too heralded the end of the Edo Shogunate, Bushido Code and the Age of Samurai. Hence, Lady Snowblood's character is practically unique in the world of the film. See more » |
