Recommendation Request Recommendation Request for documentaries about Japanese history and mythology

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
