'Shogun' Emmy success draws tourists to Japanese samurai experience
A workshop in central Tokyo that teaches people how to swing a Japanese sword has seen an increase in tourists seeking an authentic samurai experience, as the period drama series “Shogun” won 18 Emmy Awards, the most ever for a single drama season, according to the Emmys website.
The session was held in the underground dojo called “Samurai Theater Tokyo” where students can practice slicing apart woven reed mats with a real Japanese sword.
Set in Imperial Japan, the historical epic claimed best drama and acting awards for leads Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.
