They also have old Genji Monogatari (Tale of Genji) manuscripts including a reproduction of surviving parts of the oldest know illustrated copy (check it out ( Read more... )

What movies have you watched? Have you watched Merlin yet? I think you would like it. The characters are endearing and it's good clean fun except when it gets more emotionally complex.
