During the several hundred years that Japan shut its doors to the world,
在这几百年中 日本闭关锁国
the cult of the Samurai was elevated to this mystical status,
武士崇拜被提升到 一个不可思议的地位
and at the heart of it, the worship of the sword.
其核心就是对武士佩刀的崇拜
The soul of every warrior in his sword.
日本刀象征着武士之魂
Made from hammered steel.32,000 layers.
日本刀的钢千锤百炼 有三万两千层
Each a hundred thousandth of an inch thick.
每层的厚度只有一英寸的十万分之一
Sharp enough to slice through five human bodies at a time.
锋利到足以一次切开五个人的身体
But the samurai's ancient feudal code keeps Japan Living in the past.
但日本武士古老的封建礼教让日本 一直生活在过去
Iwasaki, from an old samurai family.
岩崎来自于一个古老的武士家族
He'll reject the old order by removing his top knot.
他以削发抵制旧秩序
Traditionally cut off in defeat,an act of humiliation.
传统上战败方会被割掉发髻 以示羞辱
For Iwasaki, it's liberation.
对岩崎来说 这却是解放
He enters the barbershop a Samurai.
他以日本武士的身份进入理发店...
he leaves an entrepreneur.
以企业家的身份离开
