Channel description

Past in Ink is about ordinary days in old Japan. Not the famous battles, but everything around them: what a samurai ate for breakfast, how a family kept warm in a house with paper walls, what people did in August with no air conditioning, and how Miyamoto Musashi actually spent his days between duels.

Each video follows one person or one season through Edo-period Japan, drawn in simple stick figures and narrated in English. The stories come from chronicles, diaries and travelers' notes, and I try to keep only what the sources really say.

If you like slow, curious history about how people actually lived, you'll feel at home here.
