Story
For over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture. During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo, later known as Tokyo, relied on its public bells to tell the time. In her remarkable book, Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.

Story
Take a trip to old Japan with William Scott Wilson as he travels the ancient Kiso Road, a legendary route that remains much the same today as it was hundreds of years ago. The Kisoji, which runs through the Kiso Valley in the Japanese Alps, has been in use since at least 701 CE. In the 17th century, it was the route that the daimyo (warlords) used for their biennial trips - along with their samurai and porters - to the new capital of Edo (now Tokyo).

Story
Hanasaki es una palabra compuesta que significa «flor que florece». La cultura japonesa es rica, diversa y contiene muchas enseñanzas útiles. ¿Por qué los japoneses viven tanto y se enferman tan poco? ¿Por qué se mantienen ágiles y en forma hasta los últimos años de su vida? ¿Por qué ni siquiera se plantean la jubilación?
