Seven films narrated by Julian Pettifer
1: Echoes of a Warrior's Dream
During the Edo period,
1603-1868, the country was at peace and virtually isolated from the rest of the world. It was ruled by military dictators, the Shoguns, who controlled every aspect of daily life. Theirs was a society of theft with honour and the duties and obligations of each man to the next, and characterised by a profound respect for authority.
