I stumbled across a treasure trove of scans from old magazine articles on chambara and samurai films.

Edit: In the interests of preserving these articles, I've decided to re-post all scans here. Credit goes to "usagigaijin" for originally uploading these scans to http://community.livejournal.com/samuraifiction.
