That was from Wikipedia's article on JIDAIGEKI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jidaigeki

I wrote that particular sentence, although I should point out that most of
the article was written by user Fg2. Did you have any particular quibble
with it or did you just want to let us know?

I have no quibble with that sentence.

It's something I've always suspected, but since my Japanese is not very
good, I was never certain.

Aren't words like 'sonata', 'chichiue' and 'gozarimasu' thrown in to
give the dialog a touch of authenticity?
