These are people who never let go of their sacred history, and their story is told and retold in art, film, literature, and even graphic novels across the entire world.

Westerners also learn flower arranging, martial arts, meditation, and enjoy a variety of visual and digital art forms because of the unique culture of Japan.

The history of ancient Japan is filled with interesting events that involved many influential and legendary figures.

But this is only the surface of an astonishing culture that deserves a deeper look.
