15. Barakamon
The show is about the art of calligraphy and how it can be used to express oneself. It is very light-hearted and has a good message.
The protagonist is an experienced artist who has always followed the rules, leaving little room for creativity.
It’s only after he goes to an island filled with some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, that he finally lets go of form and follows his heart.
I never thought I would be interested in calligraphy, but this show has opened my eyes to a whole world of nuances and creative expressions in this art form. ..
14. Golden Kamuy
The story of Golden Kamuy is a bit of a mystery that offers a tantalizing glimpse into the end goal of collecting all the pieces of a map left behind by a mass murderer. The story is full of suspense and mystery, making it an enjoyable read.
Well, according to Japanese culture, it is considered polite to bow when you meet someone. This custom is often seen in movies and TV shows where the main character meets someone important and they bow to show their respect. Some people think that this custom originated from the feudal era when people would bow to their superiors in order to show their respect. Whatever the case may be, it is a common courtesy in Japan and you should always try to follow it if you visit there. ..
The gold was taken from a tribe that used to occupy Japan, called the Ainu. This gives the whole store some historical background.
The protagonist is a young Ainu girl who is also interested in finding the gold that was taken from her people.
If you’re interested in Ainu culture, you should watch it. ..
13. Karuta: Chihayafuru
Karuta is a popular Japanese game that many people enjoy. This anime tells the story of a young girl named Aya who loves playing the game.
The game of Poetry is a guessing game where players must identify a card from a set of 100 cards. The player with the most correct guesses wins the game.
I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but I can tell you that this is not the place for you.
The game I played was a traditional Japanese game called “Kemono Friends.” It’s a very gripping high school story that I learned about.
There’s a new game out there that you might want to try out for yourself.
12. Natsume’s Book Of Friends
Natsume’s Book Of Friends is a novel about the youkai and how one boy decides to make peace with all of them.
Natsume was gifted a book with the names of countless youkai written in it by his grandmother. By reading and focusing on the specific youkai listed in the book, Natsume is able to control them. ..
Natsume decides to free all of the hostages.
The story is very touching, and it’s easy to see where most of the youkai designs came from. ..
The anime feels like a deep dive into Japanese folklore, where everything is mystical and beautiful in its own way. Plus, Madara is hilarious.
11. Those Snow White Notes
The show is all about music. ..
The star of the concert is the shamisen, a traditional Japanese string instrument that resembles a guitar.
The show is new and only started airing recently, so I can’t tell you too much about it yet.
The shamisen, a Japanese stringed instrument, is sure to captivate you with its unique music. ..
This show is about a group of people who move to Japan and start a new life. It’s interesting and different from the other shows on this list, and you might enjoy it if you’re familiar with Japanese culture.
10. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
This show is unique and has a lot of potential for sequels and spin-offs.
The company is looking to create a new genre of comedy that’s present in Japan.
The protagonist is a criminal who has recently been released from prison. He is different from what you would expect, being that he is a recently-freed criminal and all.
The unique aspects of this place add to the charm.
He’s a complete novice when it comes to the art form, so we actually get to learn from him too.
The show is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, and it will surely scratch that Japanese culture itch. ..
9. Naruto
I was surprised when I received a call from my boss this morning.
But some of the innuendoes in Naruto are actually based on Japanese folklore and mythology. ..
I mean the things that people don’t think of as important, like the nine-tail fox.
If you have plenty of time to kill, I strongly encourage that you try and find all of the Japanese inspirations that are present within Naruto. ..
Even if you can’t find anything to watch, you still get to watch an iconic show, so it’s a win-win. ..
For a Japanese perspective, I suggest looking at the three sannin first, and then moving onto the Uchiha clan and their abilities. ..
8. Princess Mononoke
In this powerful and moving story, a young girl named Mononoke must fight for her life against an ancient and powerful creature known as the Beast. With the help of her friends, Mononoke must use all her strength and courage to survive.
The film follows a group of humans who are trying to live in harmony with the youkai, but they are constantly threatened by the youkai. If the humans don’t leave, the youkai will go to war with them. ..
The anime borrows heavily from Japanese culture in its story and characters. I couldn’t help but notice how the movie was so distinctly interwoven with Japanese culture, even down to the way the characters speak.
Studio Ghibli films are always a delight to watch. ..
7. Spirited Away
This latest Studio Ghibli film is a masterpiece, and it’s definitely worth watching.
This movie feels like it’s been pulled straight out of a Miyazaki movie. It’s a fantastic life-altering experience that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Spirited Away is a bit more overt in its references to Japanese culture than Princess Mononoke. This is because the majority of the story takes place in a bath house, with dozens of youkai roaming around. So much symbolism (with so many Easter eggs) will be hidden on first watch that you may need to watch the movie multiple times to catch all of it. ..
This is an anime masterpiece that everyone should watch.
6. Noragami
Anime fans have been dreaming of a show where the characters are all Japanese deities for years. Now, they may have their wish come true. ..
I have a very specific taste, but I’m here to help.
Noragami is a unique anime that features a variety of characters, all of whom are interesting and engaging.
The story is great in its own right, but when you combine it with knowledge of Japanese mythology, it only gets that much better. For example, the original myths are compared to the anime adaptations of those same stories.
5. GeGeGe no Kitaro
The new season of “Attack on Titan” is celebrating the manga’s 50th anniversary. ..
The show follows the young youkai boy, who starts out trying to make peace between humans and his own species, but quickly realizes that there is much that he still doesn’t understand about human behavior.
He is a skilled and trusted mediator, helping people avoid dangerous situations and protect themselves from evil youkai.
The show is a simple concept, but it’s executed brilliantly.
The series has been around for over 50 years and has seen a lot of change.
4. Mushishi
Mushishi is a show that takes a psychological approach to youkai-centered stories.
The show’s characters are called “Mushi” and their existence is much larger than just as supernatural entities. The answer to the origin of life may be found within them.
The show is a mix of folk tales and mystery, with each episode covering a different character and their effect on the others. This makes it an interesting watch, as it keeps you guessing until the very end.
3. Hotarubi No Mori E
But one series that I’ve been particularly interested in lately is called “The Folktale of the Three Musketeers.” The story follows the adventures of three friends – a dashing, adventuresome swordsman named Jacques, a clever butler named Porthos, and a doting mother named Araminta – as they travel through France in search of treasure and adventure. Each episode features its own unique plot and characters, making it an interesting and unique series to watch.
This movie is not like the others.
The story of a young girl who accidentally bumped into a mountain spirit and the resulting love story is at the center of this week’s episode of “The Great British Baking Show.” The show, which is set in a baking competition where contestants are judged on their baking skills, aired its latest episode on Wednesday and featured a special appearance by the mountain spirit, named Pongo. Pongo is said to be in a relationship with the young girl, who was also competing in the competition. The show’s producers said that they wanted to explore how Pongo’s relationship with the girl has affected him and his work as a spirit.
The film is a great romantic movie that has a lot of inspiration. ..
I really enjoyed watching “The Great Gatsby” and I couldn’t help but notice the cultural symbols in it. It’s probably on the lower end when it comes to this list, but it’s just such a wonderful movie that I just couldn’t help myself.
I’m glad that it’s only a single myth/story, as I truly get to experience the idea in its entirety.
2. The Boy And The Beast
This is a film that is reminiscent of the work of Hayao Miyazaki, but it is not a Miyazaki film. ..
This list features a pair of unique and powerful stories that explore the power of love and friendship. The Boy And The Beast is a story about a young boy and his spirit guide, who help him learn to face his fears and find his true self.
The animation in the movie is beautiful, and there are a lot of fast-paced combat scenes too. This is somewhat rare for movies of this type. ..
This movie is definitely an enjoyable watch. There are likely many hidden concepts in here that I am just missing. ..
1. Go: Hikaru no Go
There is a game of Go that has been played in Japan for over 2,500 years. It is a two-player board game that is thought to be one of the oldest board games in the world. The game of Go is very complex and requires a lot of strategy. It can be played by both children and adults, and has even been used as an educational tool. ..
In the latest episode of Attack on Titan, a giant monster known as the Colossus appears. It’s been described as being almost impossible to kill, and even Titans are said to be unable to fight it. But what is it?
This in-depth look into the game of Go takes an in-depth dive into the game, and showcases the beautifully complex game of Go through an impressive run of 75 full episodes.
This anime is great for those who want to learn more about the world and its people.
