Hayao Miyazaki says Studio Ghibli once stood up to Harvey Weinstein with a Japanese samurai sword soranews24.com

According to Hayao Miyazaki, the act meant “I defeated him”.
While many people were forced to relent to Weinstein’s menacing ways, one man and his team in Japan refused to let the producer mess with them, standing up to him in a most memorable fashion: with a Japanese samurai sword.
The story, which has resurfaced in the midst of the Weinstein scandal, was first told by Studio Ghibli director and co-founder Hayao Miyazaki in an interview with The Guardian in 2005, back when Weinstein was still a respected, albeit feared, Hollywood producer.
While the discussion mostly revolved around his craft, at one point the interviewer asked whether the rumour about him sending a samurai sword to Harvey Weinstein was actually true.
The sword was sent to Weinstein in the post with the following message attached: “No cuts”.
