FX’s new limited series Shōgun has quickly become a major hit with both critics and fans. The series is the second adaptation of James Clavell’s novel of the same name and brings together the aesthetics, traditions, and political upheaval present in the final years of Japan’s Warring States (Sengoku) Period. In addition to this, it’s plot is presented from the perspective of an outsider — the first Englishman to make it to Japanese shores.The world of Shōgun is richly drawn, and the cultural disparities between its characters are so deeply explored that views can’t help but be sucked into the time period. Shōgun is just the latest in a long line of stories to become fascinated with this culture and part of history, and there’s much for audiences to explore if they simply can’t get enough of it.The Last Samurai is set at the start of the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century. Cruise plays a US Army captain haunted by his past, while Watanabe is the eponymous Last Samurai, fighting for his country to maintain its traditional way of life. Not as historically faithful or culturally accurate as many would demand, The Last Samurai is a large-scale Hollywood action epic — a breed not often seen in recent years.
