Abstract
Volume 1:
JAPAN; The story of Japan is like that of no other nation on Earth. For two thousand years, the Japanese people have lived an often-isolated life of striking contrasts. The military aspects of Japanese history are familiar to many, and this fascinating program reveals the achievement of the famous Samurai warriors with their noble Code of Bushido. But Japan is also a land of beauty and peace. Its pagodas, temples and other great monuments are the physical constructions of a people steeped in the ways of Buddhism. Rituals such as the tea ceremony also reveal a civilization deeply concerned with balance, order and calm. By examining all sides of the Japanese story, the identity of a unique society is revealed.
Volume 2:
INDIA; For over four thousand years, the lands of India have been home to a remarkable human civilization. This fascinating program journeys through the centuries to reveal the continuing story of the Indian people. Beginning with a graphic reconstruction of an Indus Valley city of the Second Millennium BC, the Indian experience includes fabulous Dynasties of Kings, timeless belief systems and Golden Ages of culture. India's greatest buildings especially reflect the character of a unique people, culminating in the glory of the Taj Mahal, the greatest monument to human love ever constructed, and one of the most spectacular constructions anywhere on Earth.
