  Japanese history had been shrouded in mystery from mythical beginnings until it embraced modernism in the late 19th century. A nation of traditions and customs, this DVD examines some of ancient Japan's architecture, the famous samurai code of Bushido, the Tea Ceremony and also gives an in-depth background to the eminent Japanese dynasties. A people who were once identified for their fearsome warriors but are now perhaps better known for balance, order and calm. Narrated by John Viner.
