Rare Earth

Where They Buried the Soul of Japan (2017x2)

Date de diffusion: Mai 19, 2017

Shogun! Not Emperor. You foolish self. Our first video! We're jetlagged and nervous but absolutely thrilled to be getting started on what we hope will be a truly useful series. The first thing we wanted to focus on in Japan is found at Sengakuji, a temple in the south of Tokyo whose graveyard harbours a very important story: the 47 Ronin. In many ways, it is the foundational legend of Japan. If nothing else, it is a testament to sustaining one's duty in the face of hardship, illegality, and fear. We hope you like it!
