JAPAN'S SAMURAI

When we think of Samurai, what we normally imagine is their armor or "Karuta" and the one part of the Karuta that sticks out the most is the Kabuto or helmet, which is designed to intimidate enemies. The Last Samurai in Japan who wore the Samurai armor and wielded the Katana (Samurai Sword) was Saigo Takamori.

Shoguns, which held the title of military dictators ruled from 1185 until 1868 when the last Shogun (Tokugawa Yoshinobu) officially relinquished his power to Emperor Meiji in 1867. This moment in Japanese History was known as the Honorable Restoration or Meiji Restoration, which brought forth industrialization from westerners. The movie starring Tom Cruise entitled "The Last Samurai", is a rendition of the Meiji Restoration in terms of the industrialization that took place subsequent to Emporer Meiji taking power.

CHINA'S TERRACOTTA ARMY

China's Terracotta Army was known as a funerary art form created to protect Emporer Qin Shi Huang in his afterlife... The sculptures were and still are representations of each and every one of his 8000+ warriors. But that wasn't all that was found in 1974 by local Chinese farmers who came across the 2200-year-old burial ground. There were also over 600 Terracotta Horses and over 100 Chariots.

Being taken back in time to experience what once was is a skill not held by just anyone or any tour operator. Being able to be a part of that history in order to take it in and bring it wherever we go is why we travel.

2024 will be filled with all sorts of wonderful opportunities to see the world like it is and as it was. 2024 Globus Asia Tours will be there to guide you every step of the way!
