Unearthing Ancient Wonders: Professor Kazuya Yamauchi Takes Center Stage on Documentary Series

In an upcoming episode of the documentary series "One’s way: Seekers of Knowledge," set to air at 11:00 p.m. this Saturday, September 30, 2023, viewers will be treated to an enlightening journey led by Professor Kazuya Yamauchi. Renowned as the Director of the Research Institute of Cultural Properties at Teikyo University, Professor Yamauchi is set to unravel the mysteries of the Silk Road.
The Silk Road, an ancient trade route spanning the Eurasian continent, was more than a conduit for goods; it was a conduit for ideas, culture, and spirituality. At its heart was Xuanzang, the visionary from China who served as the inspiration for Sanzang, the companion of the legendary Sun Wukong. Professor Yamauchi's expedition leads us to the Ak Beshim ruins in the northern Kyrgyz Republic, a place steeped in history and cultural exchange.
This archaeological marvel, nestled along the Silk Road, once thrived as a bustling trading city, where cultures from the East and West converged in a vibrant tapestry of human interaction. Today, the Silk Road Academic Survey is meticulously unearthing its secrets, striving to reveal the lifestyles and customs of its ancient inhabitants. Professor Yamauchi's leadership and expertise are at the forefront of this captivating endeavor. Through "One’s way," he invites viewers to witness the meticulous process of untangling history from layers of time, one excavation at a time. Don't miss the broadcast of BS Asahi's "One’s way - Seekers of Knowledge" this Saturday at 11 p.m. Embark on this riveting odyssey, guided by Professor Kazuya Yamauchi, and rediscover the wonders of the Silk Road.
