A few years ago, there was a very interesting NHK documentary about the 8th dan exam being the most difficult exam of any type in Japan, with an astoundingly low 1% pass rate (approx.) If anyone's interested, or doesn't know, this documentary has been translated into english and is screened sometimes on the National Geographic Channel as "Kendo's gruelling challenge"

Unfortunately, they don't have the video for sale... I'd snap a copy up rather quickly.
