Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire

[ToranagaSama]

If you're into Japanese history or just the Samurai thing, there's a new, very interesting, documentary airing on PBS tommorrow:

Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire (http://www.pbs.org/empires/japan/theprogram.html)

Below is actually the home page for the site, lots of additional background info, much like that found on the original Shogun CD.

In the NYC area, it airs at 8:00 pm Channel 13.

Setup your DVR/VCRs.

There's also a second airing, check the schedule.

tomorrow being what day of the week? Wednesday? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'll be in Japanese writing class at 8 (for fun, I'm not in college) but will have a friend get it for me.

I've been recruiting people at my school to watch this.

I thought I saw something interesting on PBS but the fact that it was PBS made me doubt it was good. I'll check it out tomorrow, thank's for the heads up. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/bigthumb.gif

I caught about half of it.
It was okay, interesting, but anyone who's studied Japanese history, even casually like for STW, won't get much new info.

I agree, there was some neat stuff that I never knew, like the Dutch Village in Nagasaki Harbor, but overall I thought it was pretty basic.

Still, I really enjoyed it.
