Recommendation Request for documentaries about Japanese history and mythology

[u/Galefrie]

I'm looking to learn more about Japanese history and mythology, does anyone have any recommendations?

This is mostly spurred on since recently I've been enjoying a lot of samurai related media but I am interested in learning more in general as opposed to just military history

These are excellent documentaries on Noh theater. I recommend reading the plays after you watch it. https://youtu.be/qsMnyrxqe6w?si=HLNXJeLGgWgGRuST

Dan Carlin's Supernova in the East is a pretty amazing podcast series about Japanese history, albeit mainly political and military but also has lots of sociological stuff in there.
