They say that Japan was made by a sword. An old God dipped a blade into the ocean and when he pulled it out, four perfect drops fell out into the sea and those drops became the islands of Japan. Others say that Japan was made by a handful of brave men, known as Samarai, that were willing to give their lives for what today seems to be forgotten words ... tradition and honor. This voyage was a cultural and pilgrimage experiencie of Japan's cultures, religions, and traditions developed and guided by the National Geographic Society.
