Here are links to three ~55-minute Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) programs focusing on Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, the Tokugawa Shogunate, and events leading to the Meiji restoration. I thought maybe some here would enjoy them.

Thankyou very much Masamune. I will watch these this evening when I get home from work. Work always seems to go quicker when I have something to look forward to.

I learned a little about what it was like in Japan during the isolation. Usually programs I`ve seen focus solely on the Sengoku Jidai and not much else.

Very enjoyable and nicely narrated by Capt. Blackthorne :)
