  3. I think you have the first part of the series. NHK made a sequel to it "road to rome" and another that is for sea.

    Do you know if I could watch them online anywhere?

  4. Thank you so much for posting them. I too had been looking for them for a long time. I watched this in awe when I was a little kid and I didn't even understand English back then. So, thank you very much!!!!

  6. LOL Adam Scott above is a spammer, obviously. This is my favourite TV series ever. There are actually 3 sets of 12, available in the NHK dvd set, which is out of print. Look for it in your local Chinatown dvd store.

  9. Great to see these after so many years! Wondered if these 12 episodes are available on DVD as my father (Graham Webster) did the English narration while working for NHK. Love to have a permanent record for his grandsons. Any suggestions appreciated.
