About The Silk Road
The Silk Road is a documentary television series produced by NHK that was first broadcast during the 1980s. The travelogue traced the ancient Silk Road from Chang'an (modern day Xi'an) to Rome covering the history, archaeology, culture, religion, and art of countries along the route. It took a total of 17 years from conception to complete what many considered a landmark in Japan's broadcast television history.
