With all the controversy over Anna Nicole Smith and her will recently, it's interesting that the Kimbell Art Museum would host a screening of The Will of the Shogun. I mean, an art museum is a pretty hoity-toity place to have your will read, shogun or not. How exactly would a shogun's will play out anyway?—"I, Shogun Sam, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this instrument to be my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills and codicils by me at any time heretofore made. To you, Danielynn-son, I leave my katana sword, my finest kimonos and all of my most treasured possessions, the prizes of my many battles...the rest of you get nothing. Do you hear me?! NOTHING. Wahahahaha." All kidding aside, The Will of the Shogun is actually the second in a three-part PBS series on feudal Japan. Catch it 2 p.m. Sunday at the Kimbell, 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd. in Fort Worth. Call 817-332-8451 or visit kimbellart.org.
