Kamakura-era Mongolian ship discovered in Japanese waters
from CNN: 13th Century Mongol ship discovered -- They were the peak of land warfare in their time, and perhaps the crew of a sunken Mongol ship regrets leaving the firm ground of Asia behind for the Japanese islands. In a truly rare find, marine archaeologists in Japan uncovered the remains of a ship from a Mongol invasion fleet dating back to 1281. The team believes wreckage could provide better insight into attacks on Japan around that time period.
Note: this is exciting, not not TOO new -- there have been pieces of Mongol wreckage found before (there is even a museum near Hakata Bay which is dedicated to the salvaged parts), but perhaps this is the most 'complete' ship found yet. It is exciting to see Kamakura-era timber in reasonably good condition, considering the extreme environment. It is now common knowledge that the fleet's main issue was that the majority of ships were riverboats, which were not strong enough to withstand the open-ocean typhoon. Read more about the ship here:
I am additionally tickled that about three months ago, I developed an iPhone game based on the mythological versions of the infamous Mongoloan invasions of Japan:
Exploring Kamakura Japan! | Daibutsu (Big Buddha), Japanese Cafe, & Matcha Sweets
We explore Kamakura in today's Japan vlog! Kamakura is famous for the Daibutsu (or Big Buddha) and its historical/nostagic feel to the whole area. We eat at a modern Japanese Tea House Cafe and try various matcha sweets. We loved the relaxed vibe of Kamakura and it was a nice escape from the ever-busy Tokyo. Kamakura was so much fun and would highly recommend making a day trip down there if you are in the Tokyo area! Be sure to read the rest of the description box for details on our trip.
The journey to Kamakura took about one hour from Tokyo Station via the JR Yokosuka Line. Once we got there, we first checked out what was in the vicinity and found a cute donut shop. Do be careful with holding food up in the air since hawks are known to hunt the area. We learned that the hard way lol. For lunch, we went to Momiji Chaya to eat traditional Japanese rice bowl served with tea. Most of the rice bowls were served with shirasu (white broiled fish), which Kamakura is known for. Meals were about 12-13 dollars. The matcha tiramisu is a must-try and several people there seemed like that was the only thing they ordered! We then took a nice scenic walk through the neighborhood to get to the Kotokuin Temple. Took about 30 minutes from Kamakura Station, but you could also take the Enoshima Electric Railway to Hase Station to save time. Kotokuin Temple is home to the Daibutsu (Big Buddha) and such a sight to see! Window shopping of the souvenir stores around the temple was fun. We took home some jelly soaps from Konnyaku Shabon; the soaps smelled so good and made for great gifts! And before we left Kamakura, I had to try the max level of the matcha gelato from Kamakura Chacha. When we got back to Maihama, we quickly grabbed some Pie Face over at Ikspiari for dinner. Long day but a fun-filled one!

Kamakura History: The Origins of the Minamoto.
From KAMAKURA - RISE AND FALL OF THE SHOGUNS Episode 1: Rise of the Minamoto.
Why the Minamoto transformed from a peripheral imperial court family to a go-getting band of borderland warriors.
To create a suitable backdrop, while filming a scene set in the ancient imperial capitals of Nara and Kyoto, I filmed the opening scenes at Sankei En Garden, Negishi, Yokohama, which was created in the early 20th century, by Sankei Hara, a Yokohama silk merchant, using real temple buildings, shrines, pagodas and historical structures from the ancient capitals, and other places of cultural note, around Japan.
The middle part of the clip contains stock photos of Heian Shrine, Kyoto and Amanawa Shinmei Gu Shrine, Hase, Kamakura, first tutelary Kamakura shrine of the Minamoto. Footage of the Enoden tram line was filmed between Gokurakuji and Hase stations. The picturesque Enoden Tram line has been running along the Pacific coast of Shonan from Fujisawa to Kamakura for over a century. This was filmed as the tram approached Hase station from the west.
The final section of this clip starts with stock footage of Byodo In temple, Kyoto - the artistic and spiritual zenith of the courtly Fujiwara family. The second half of the clip is my own recording, of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, Kamakura, at dusk, Spring 2017..

Japan - History of a Secret Empire - The Samurai, the Shogun, & the Barbarians
Japan - History of a Secret Empire: The Samurai, the Shogun, and the Barbarians.
The Japanese have rites and ceremonies so different from those of all other nations. The things they do are beyond imagining, and it may be truly said that Japan is a world that is the reverse of Europe.
To the first westerners in Japan, it was a mysterious world. It was the fabled isle of Zipangu that Marco Polo had only heard about. The land of riches that Christopher Columbus set out to find.
In the first century AD, the first known written reference to Japan was recorded in the Chinese Book of Han. Between the third century and the eighth century, Japan's many kingdoms and tribes gradually came to be unified under a centralized government, nominally controlled by the Emperor. The imperial dynasty established at this time continues to reign over Japan to this day. In 794, a new imperial capital was established at Heian-kyō (modern Kyoto), marking the beginning of the Heian period, which lasted until 1185. The Heian period is considered a golden age of classical Japanese culture. Japanese religious life from this time and onwards was a mix of Buddhism, and native religious practices known as Shinto.
Over the following centuries the power of the Emperor and the imperial court gradually declined and passed to the military clans and their armies of samurai warriors. The Minamoto clan under Minamoto no Yoritomo emerged victorious from the Genpei War of 1180–85. After seizing power, Yoritomo set up his capital in Kamakura and took the title of shogun. In 1274 and 1281, the Kamakura shogunate withstood two Mongol invasions, but in 1333 it was toppled by a rival claimant to the shogunate, ushering in the Muromachi period. During the Muromachi period regional warlords known as daimyō grew in power at the expense of the shogun. Eventually, Japan descended into a period of civil war. Over the course of the late sixteenth century, Japan was reunified under the leadership of the daimyō Oda Nobunaga and his successor Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Hideyoshi's death in 1598, Tokugawa Ieyasu came to power and was appointed shogun by the Emperor. The Tokugawa shogunate, which governed from Edo (modern Tokyo), presided over a prosperous and peaceful era known as the Edo period (1600–1868). The Tokugawa shogunate imposed a strict class system on Japanese society and cut off almost all contact with the outside world.
The American Perry Expedition in 1853–54 ended Japan's seclusion; this in turn contributed to the fall of the shogunate and the return of power to the Emperor in 1868. The new national leadership of the following Meiji period transformed their isolated, underdeveloped island country into an empire that closely followed Western models and became a world power.

One of few Japanese museums where taking photo and video is allowed (except several places). Japanese history from ancient times till now.There are many models. You can try calligraphy and old Japanese calculators. Very likely video will not be popular but for me it was fun (they also have nice restaurant)
Filmed in UltraHD 4K with Lumix GH4 camera and Beholder DS-1 stabilizer.
Feel free to correct my English or suggest a video to film.
Birth of Kamakura Art
This clip briefly describes the origins of what is referred to as the birth of Kamakura Art in Japan. With the burning of the original Todai-ji in 1180, the Kei school (慶派), then headed by Kokei (Unkei's father), won the bid to refurnish the reconstructed Todai-ji with buddhist art. By the time the art had been carved and dedicated, Unkei had risen to the head of the Kei school, issuing forth a new era which is now referred to as the Renaissance of Japanese Art.

A Medieval History of Japan.

1180, and in the wake of the collapse of imperial power the warrior clans of the Genji (Minamoto) and Heike (Taira) are locked in a deadly battle for control of the nation, in the second part of this documentary series.

Kyoto Festival: Jidai Matsuri [4K]
For more information, check out the Jidai Matsuri page on our website:
Considered to be one of the top three festivals in all of Kyoto despite its status as a relatively new tradition, Heian Shrine's Jidai Matsuri (Festival of the Ages) is held on October 22nd from noon each year.
The festival is primarily composed of a two kilometer, five hour long procession of countless volunteers dressed in historical garb representing Japanese cultural history from the Meiji era all the way back to the Enryaku era in the 780’s. Painstakingly recreated and researched, going so far as to even make and dye the fabric using the same techniques as they used a thousand years ago, the procession is akin to watching a living history museum march by. Not only do famous historical figures and princesses make appearance, but warriors, priests, politicians, merchants, and commoners are all represented. With that many characters, the Jidai Matsuri gives a very comprehensive look in to the clothing and appearance of Japanese past.

Old Yokohama Photos, Back to 1800's
Until the end of the Edo era, Yokohama was only a small fishing village, and Kanagawa (the town, not the prefecture) along the Tokaido (the main road connecting Edo and Kyoto that ran through Yokohama and the rest of Kanagawa Prefecture, and which had inns along it) was a more important place. After the Japan-U.S. Peace Treaty was signed in 1854, the Japanese government designated Yokohama village as a trading base and expanded the land with landfill. In 1859 Yokohama officially opened her port to the rest of the world and became the business center in Japan.

Great Budda (Daibutsu) of Kamakura
The Great Buddha of Kamakura is a bronze statue of Amida Buddha that is located on the grounds of the Kotokuin Temple. With a height of 13.35 meters, it is the second largest Buddha statue in Japan (the largest is located in the Todaiji Temple in Nara).
The statue was cast in 1252 and originally located inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were washed away by a tsunami tidal wave in the end of the 15th century, and since then the Buddha stands in the open air. I have the location spotted on map options. To get there by train, take the JR Yokosuka Line from Tokyo to Kamakura Station. Get on the Enoden Line exiting at the Hase Station. Short walk to Budda.
