In the computer game Shogun 2 the samurai army of the historic Date clan joins in on the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of braille.
The video starts with a group of samurai armed walking towards the camera. The camera then moves to the left and many more groups of samurai warriors marching through an open Japanese landscape come into view. Some are armed with swords, others with spears, all of them wear little blue flags with their clan’s emblem on their backs. The camera flies through rank after rank of warriors and then goes into bird sight view to reveal that each group is marching in a square formation formed out of 120 samurai. The squares then get highlighted with a golden glow and they stop marching. Each square appears to represent a braille dot; the whole army together is forming the word “braille”. The frame then freezes, and the word “braille” appears in roman letters above the army.
