THE
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Background:
You say there was a rumor from the 1950s about a legend of the Seven Samurai long ago were hired by poor Japanese villagers to defeat the bandits attacking their village? I found an old, torn silk tapestry hanging in the dining room of the hotel. It looks like someone scribbled a name on the back of the tapestry which says “Nikkei” but I cannot make out the date. Take a look at this sketch showing a large Samurai holding a sword, Mr. Akira, and tell me what do you make of it? The Old Wild West: Charts 1 - 3 have been partially restored from the old tapestry and show some recent sketches of Seven Samurai as they may have looked when they rode thru the Nikkei from the 1980s. The sketches are based on an additional large Samurai called Kambei who plays the part of the 450-week cycle. The sketches look a little to me, Mr Akira, like some old sketches of the “DJIA gang from the 1900s” who were called the Magnificent Seven. The great Samurai Warrior, Kambei, reminds me of an old gunfighter called Chris. Maybe it’s just the fact they both have steely eyes. It is difficult to determine if 450-cycle is real or an artifact of the short dataset (1984-2004) but it fits the data very well. The Modern West: Flash forward to July 2004, Chart 4 presents a computer-aided image of the fictional Seven Samurai if they were still alive today – but of course, nobody has really seen such “Ghost Riders in the Sky”. The computer aided image is based on a small piece of the torn tapestry may not be historically accurate. Of course, the tapestry has decomposed over time so some reconstruction of the color and texture was necessary. Is it possible the Seven Japanese Bandits still ride today with Calvera today? If so, the Nikkei is headed for a showdown after Feb 2006!? “Ghost Riders in the Sky” (Words and Music by Stan Jones (1949)): “Their
brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Yipie i ay Yipie i oh Ghost Riders in the Sky”.
