Forbidden Kyoto - Winter Comes to the Geisha
Still shrouded in mystery in the 21st century, not even Japanese people know all there is to know about Kyoto.
In the fourth installment of this series, our guide, who knows the city inside out, takes us on a tour of forbidden Kyoto, taking the camera into places normally off limits to the public.
This episode focuses on a spectacular theatrical event that features an impressive array of popular Kabuki actors. Called 'Kaomise', the special festive performances bring the curtain down on the year in Kyoto. The dignified wooden signboards bearing the actors' names high above the entrance of the historic theater symbolize this annual year-end attraction. Wearing gorgeous kimono and with their hair done up in the traditional style, a group of maiko apprentice geisha inside the auditorium look as stunning as the actors on stage. But behind all the distinctive details, such as the making of the signboards and the presence of the maiko in the audience, there are various little-known points of etiquette and tradition filled with profound meaning. A mixture of great excitement and splendor is evident all around the theater as the year comes to an end in the chilly ancient city. The program investigates both the inside and outside of this beautiful world through the eyes of an Am erican writer.

On Shanks Mare - Traveling Japan in Ukiyo-E Journeys
On Shanks' Mare: Traveling Japan in Ukiyo-E Journeys.
The technologies of today's world grants people the freedom to breeze from one country to the next. But wind back the clock 300 years. Imagine what it would have been like to embark on a journey in Edo Japan? With no transportation infrastructure to speak of, most overland travel was on foot, and to the common man a journey to a far-off place was a potentially life-risking feat.
Amidst this, two men, Yajirobei and Kitahachi make a journey from Nihonbashi, in Edo, to Ise Shrine. Their story is told in the form of Japan's oldest travel guide, Tokaidochu Hizakurige. The book follows the two men as they leave a trail of crude jokes and plentiful puns across Japan's eastern seaboard. This comical book served to whet the public's appetite for sight-seeing. The program is a myriad of famous ukiyoe woodcut prints from Hokusai such as The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series, modern-day actors and CG effects. It offers a never-before-seen mix of old and new world and offers the viewer a perspective through the eyes of ordinary Edo people.
