The Shogun film attracts tourists to Japan.

The "Samurai Theater Tokyo" dojo is located in the heart of Tokyo, Japan. It regularly hosts classes and experiences where participants can learn to be samurai warriors, including trying out Japanese swordsmanship. The dojo's owner, Kazuko Mitsui, stated, "Since last year, the number of customers participating in these experiences has increased by 150-200%. I think the Shogun movie helped boost the number of students."

The historical drama "Shogun" is based on the novel of the same name by author James Clavell, published in 1975. Set in feudal Japan, just before the Great War of 1600, "Shogun" boasts a dramatic plot, stunning visuals, epic sound, and captivating performances, earning it the title of "Eastern Version" of "Game of Thrones."

Gensei Kamide, a Japanese swordsmanship instructor, said, “As a fan of actor Hiroyuki Sanada in 'Shogun,' I’m thrilled that the series won an Emmy. Thanks to the show, traditional Japanese culture is coming back to life. I’m so happy that people all over the world are learning about Japanese culture as conveyed through this series.”

At the "Samurai Theater Tokyo" dojo, tourists are taught how to cut through reed mats with a Japanese sword like a real samurai. One participant, Bob Verstaeten (from the Netherlands), said: “I felt the weight of a sword and the sensation of holding it and slashing. Now, when I watch the Shogun movie again, the feeling is completely different.”

At the 76th Emmy Awards ceremony last weekend, "Shogun" became the first non-English language program to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Series. With 18 Emmy Awards, "Shogun" also broke the record for the most awards a television series has won in a single season.
