Gunto In Movie "unbroken"

[Bruce Pennington]

Re-watched "Unbroken" and caught a scene with 3 gunto. The nearest two have shrunken leather covers on the tsuka, and the nearest looks like it could have been a civilian katana in combat saya.

Actually a better movie for gunto sightings was the Japanese-made "Emporer in August" about the effort to stop the emporer's announcement of surrender. Had a couple of scenes in a command center where the soldiers stacked their gunto in racks. Several had the white-wrapped tsukas.

Yeah, props I'd guess. Last one looks almost naval.
