From the powerful Shogun and Samurai warriors, to the enchanting charm of the beautiful Geishas, there are many symbols of ancient Japan that still generate in us an incredible fascination.

But ancient Japan is not only this: its history is studded with events, characters, defeats and victories - as well as a cultural and religious heritage that has nothing to envy to any other area of the world.

The Japanese people have also rituals, behaviors and ways of life that are not present in any other nation in the world, not even in those more culturally similar such as South Korea, Taiwan or China.

Even art, literature and religion has followed a path all its own, which is not found anywhere outside the archipelago.

But what has made this powerful and proud people so fascinating to our eyes?
