| History: Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku-hen -- See: Boshin War Nobunaga Concerto -- Per title. Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai -- Per title. This is a documentary --anime style. Culture: Chihayafuru -- See: Karuta. |

| Chihayafuru +1 - 'sports' series centred around the traditional card game, Karuta. (Kimonos mandatory) Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu - historical drama themed around the traditional Japanese storytelling performance art. Hanasaku Iroha - follows young schoolgirls as they work at a traditional Japanese inn. Sakamichi no Apollo - romance/music set in 60's Japan and all that jazz. Mushishi - a historical Japan where the mysterious spirit-like mushi creatures live as port of the ecosystem. Samurai Champloo +2 - a trio's adventures in Edo Japan, spiced up with a bit of ahistorical hip and hop. Natsume Yuujinchou - a take on Japan's kami/youkai 'spirits' - a young teen who can see them and his tales. Nobunaga Concerto +1 - Time-travelling historical to the warring Samurai era. Quirky, comedic, quick paced and dramatic. Hyouge Mono - set around the same iconic period of Nobunaga, this historical drama mixes a Japanese art (most epitomised in the tea ceremony) with the politics and figures of the time. Noragami - The gods; already on your PTW |
| Hoozoki no Reitetsu Xxxholic Oda Nobuna no Yadou(?) Sengoku Basara(?) |
| if you mean a series with plenty of references to Japanese culture, then joshiraku if you mean a series with sword fighting (which i suspect actually appeals more to the west), then maybe sword of the stranger (movie) chihayafuru is a pretty fun series as well (about karuta) and Saki (about Japanese mahjong) |
| You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name. For those who want to learn Japanese through anime Resources for learning the language |
| Saki (mahjong) Ikoku Meiro no Croisée (about cultural differences between France and Japan in the 1800s) Shirobako (more modern, about the anime industry) Baseball Girls (about the globalization of Japan in 1925. Half of the girls at the school still wear yukata to school. The main focus of the anime is about women's rights, but there's still an important theme of Japan) Kaichuu! (Japanese archery. It's a 16 minute trap anime, but it's still about something Japanese) |

| Mononoke? I think that fits what you're looking for. I was about to recommend Kingdom but that's Chinese.. |
  ♰ ἡ φύσις οὐδὲν ποιεῖ ἅλματα. ♰ συκεροκυ™ |
| +Hyouge Mono +Mononoke but first watch its prequel called "Bake Neko," the final arc of the anthology Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales +Ikoku Meiro no Croisee - for the "culture clash" aspects Bartender - has vignettes on the history of alcohol, some of which are Japanese; see episode two Mouryou no Hako Aoi Bungaku Oh! Edo Rocket - over-the-top sci-fi series set in 1843 Edo during the Tenpou Reforms that banned popular entertainments; a satire based on a stage play by the screenwriter for Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann Hakaba Kitarou Sarai-ya Goyou ("House of Five Leaves") Natsume Yuujinchou Some shows are set in faux-Asian imperial settings that draw on aspects of Japanese, Chinese, or Korean cultures: Juuni Kokuki ("The Twelve Kingdoms") Seirei no Moribito Kemono no Sou-ja Erin Saiunkoku Monogatari |

| As with what @Shonen-King has suggested, pretty much all samurai and martial arts anime are very Japanese and so are many game anime (read the descriptions first for these). For another recommendation, although it's not about Japanese culture so much, Yama no Susume has a lot to do with Japanese geography as it's about mountain climbing in Japan. Some of the mountains have spiritual and cultural importance so it's worth a watch if you're into that. |

| Mushishi +1 setting is old japan and ... it's a great anime. However, since I'm not an expert I can't juge how realistic the setting is. Same problem with other animes actually, I try to be careful, we never know how near or far from the reality some interpretations of a periode are. Samurai champloo (despite the funny anachronismes) Princess mononoke (it's a movie) |
| +1 Rurouni Kenshin Sengoku Musou Donten ni Warau Samurai Deeper Kyo Brave 10 Optional: Sengoku Basara (More like a parody in a way) Hakuouki (If you love tragedy and fantasy) |
