Now that we are studying Japan, maybe you would find useful the following link from the University of South Australia. It is a very complete and interesting video of the Meiji era (8 minutes).
Besides, as we have mentioned in class, one of the greatest film directors of all times was the japanese Akira Kurosawa. You can watch the trailer of one of his most famous movies: “Sichinin no samurai” (“The seven samurai”).
Believed or not, this film was adapted later by Hollywood as Western and even animation movie... Even the personality of their heroes are the same!

If you
want to know more about Kurosawa, have this 20-minute documentary on
youtube.
Finally, and
if you are curious about the language, you can learn the basics of Japanese
(alphabet, numbers, colors, ...) on the web digital dialects. J
