Simon Graham: "[Epi-narr-log-ing] ⋯and so the days of the Samurai had ended. Nations, like men, it is sometimes said, have their own destiny. as for the American Captain, no one knows what became of him. Some say that he died of his wounds; Others, that he returned to his own country. ⋯but I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find."

Simon Graham: "[Pro-narr-log-ing] they say Japan was made by a sword; They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say: Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: 'honor'."
