Men in samurai attire engage in sword fighting to re-enact the Battle of Kawanakajima, a battle of five campaigns fought between two forces in the age of Japan's civil war in the mid-16th century, in Fuefuki, Yamanashi Prefecture, on April 21, 2013. Kawanakajima holds a similar place in Japanese history as do Gettysburg and Waterloo in Americans and French history. (Photo by Junji Kurokawa/Associated Press)
