During Japan’s “renaissance” from the 16th to 19th centuries, shoguns, samurai, geisha and artisans turned a chaotic land into one of ritual refinement and peace. This stability demanded isolation: for nearly 250 years the nation was closed to the West under an absolute shogunate. The documentary reveals the secret empire, its cautious ties with the West, and how it forged modern Japan.
