For the people who want to know about Japanese culture throughout Japanese “JIDAIGEKI”!!
We love Japanese period and costume dramas.
This is because period dramas seem to be packed with Japanese culture.
When it comes to Japanese culture, there are many types of culture that even Japanese people don’t know much about, from sushi, sumo wrestling, and other characteristic cultures.
There are also some types of culture that even Japanese people do not know much about.
We Japanese learn about history, culture, and customs by watching foreign movies and TV dramas.
In the same way, Japanese history and culture are condensed in Japanese movies and TV dramas.
Why don’t you, as a Japanophile, open the door to a Japan you don’t know yet?
I would like to learn what I don’t know together with you, like a detective of Japanese movies and TV dramas together with you.
I launched this site with a very pleasant feeling.
We introduce movies & dramas in English and Japanese.
In this site…we’re talk about not only “Samurai Drama”
When we think of “jidaigeki” (period drama), many of you may recall movies and TV dramas featuring samurai costumes.
However, we consider “jidaigeki” in a larger sense as visual works that represent the times in which Japan lived.
We are not only interested in samurai dramas, but also in the pre-Edo period and the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods.
