The Shogun Inheritance

on BBC Two England

Last of a six-part series about Japan's legacy of the samurai. Pageboy to the Gods. Nearly 80 per cent of Japanese people are reckoned to be devout
Buddhists, but almost the same number claim to be followers of Shinto. People hedge their bets by following both religions at the same time. They keep two altars in their homes - one for Shinto gods, the Kami, and the other for the family dead. Narrated by Julian Pettifer.
