Hiroyuki Sanada reflects on his journey to bridge Eastern and Western cultures through his acting, noting recent successes and the greater space created for such dialogues.
Sanada finds a deep connection with Yoshii Toranaga in 'Shogun,' embodying the journey to power and peace, reminiscent of Tokugawa Ieyasu—his hero since childhood.
His experiences in action films taught him martial arts but also the significance of patience in pursuing dreams, as encapsulated by his hero's quote.
At sixty-three, Sanada enjoys his accomplishments, appreciating that the 'wall' dividing cultures has cracked, allowing more avenues for conversation and representation.
