• It takes a MEIKO KAJI kunoichi-fest to bring me out of hiding!

  HIBERNATING is the term I prefer, not 'dead' or 'dormant' or 'abandoned' or any of that shit. Have a little faith folks...
  
  I've been hoarding tons of ninja goodness for a major site / project relaunch in early 09. In the meantime, an accidental discovery of a ton of screen caps from various ONMITSU DOSHIN TV shows brought me out of hiding. This particular incarnation of the Edo-period police dramas featured Female Convict Scorpion / Lady Snowblood herself MEIKO KAJI in full shinobi gear getting into all sorts of misadventure!
  
  
  
  Kaji was better known for grim, dead-eyed violent sexploitation fare than the low budget formulaic chambara TV we all love, and once in a while she actually SMILED in these shows - a real departure from the women's prison lesbian gang fights that have forged her a cult following here in the US.
  
  
  
  Best of all, she'd routinely break out the classic kunoichi mission gear! You could not ask for sexier eyes and a killer thousand yard stare. Enjoy...
