Wonderful scene, I remember Kabuki being one of the most amazing aspects of Japanese culture that I enjoyed while I lived there.

their fight scenes are quite slow compared to Chinese opera... but you can't really compare two different things...

Sen is 1000 in japanese and Sakura is a cherry blossom. So it's "A thousand Cherry Blossoms". The one you are talking about is is Captain Kuchiki, right?
