This excellent PBS documentary series consists of three parts of 1 hour each covering Japanese history from the arrival of the Portuguese in 1543 to the arrival of Perry and the Americans in 1854. Narrated by Richard Chamberlain, interspersed with interviews of Western and Japanese academics, this fascinating show is illustrated with re-enactments and period art work. Part I covers the Momoyama period of civil war through Nobunaga to Hideyoshi and tells of the rise of Tokugawa Ieasu and ends with the siege of Osaka castle in 1615. Part II covers the Tokugawa Shogunate from 1603 to the Shimabara rebellion in 1638, which led to the closure of Japan under Ieasu's grandson. Western influence, including Christianity, is important in this period. Part III covers the period of Japanese isolation, from the time of the Dutch concession in Nagasaki harbor up to the arrival of American commodore Matthew Perry in 1854. The Samurai class declines during this period as the merchant class rises, Japanese culture flourishes, and Edo (Tokyo) becomes the largest city in the world.

在一个远离城市喧嚣的乡间，麦田另一头驶来了拖拉机，载着一个身穿制服的青年回到了这个他魂牵梦绕、念兹在兹的所在。他迈着缓慢的步伐，来到了曾留下无数回忆的榕树下。如今榕树依然枝繁叶茂，曾经的人儿却不知去往何方。童年时代，他和强壮和善的父亲经常徘徊在榕树下，父子俩过着平静纯朴的生活。当年他们躺在林间仰望星空，少年在父亲的臂弯中呼呼睡去。他是如此安心，只因身边有父亲的陪伴。岁月流逝，年华老去。父亲慢慢脱去了制服，白发爬上额头。在那条小路上，长大了的孩子登上汽车外出求学，父亲满怀笑容送走他，一个人回到孤孤单单的小屋，却再也没有出来。 　　树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不待……
