Martial Arts Museum hosts 47 Ronin Press Junket
BURBANK, CA - 
(NewMediaWire) - December 12, 2013 - The Martial Arts History Museum today hosted the press junket for Universal Studio's upcoming release of their fantasy action martial arts film, 47 Ronin. The Museum surprised the press with a number of unique, mini-presentations on Japanese history and culture which included an historical look at the Samurai Sword from a representative from the History Channel. A Samurai Sword expert amazed the press with actual sword cutting and a special chef fed their appetites with Japanese sushi designed in the shape of a dragon.
“The Martial Arts History Museum is a wonderful place to hold these types of events. The Museum is a natural backdrop for action films and Asian-themed films and television shows. We have hosted the History Channel, A&E, Ancient Aliens and past junkets for Man with the Iron Fists and G.I. 2, notes Museum president Michael Matsuda.
47 Ronin, which stars Keanu Reeves, is a fictional account of a real-life group of samurai in 18th century who avenge the murder of their master. The release date is scheduled for Christmas Day, 2013.
Having the Press Junket at the Museum provided the press an opportunity to learn about the history of Japan, the impact of the Samurai and the role the Ronin played. “The Martial Arts History Museum is the perfect place for reporters to gain a broader insight into Japanese culture and history,” adds Matsuda.
The Martial Arts History Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and is located in the city of Burbank. Its focus is to provide an historical look at Asian history, culture and tradition. Museum information can be found at MAmuseum.com.
