The development of every culture is associated with the ability to pass on experience and knowledge, both to the present and future generations. The most powerful tool of communication in society is the mass media, and books are certainly a primary means. The theme of this text is, therefore, the culture of the written word in the literary tradition of Japan represented by the wahon, or the Japanese book. The history of its origin and development dates back more than 1100 years; the beginnings of both manuscript and printed books in Japan date back to the eighth century. Wahon in its traditional form developed until 1868, up to the beginning of the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when the modernization and westernization of the country also took over this area of human activity.

The main topic of the article is the role of public television, the NHK (Nippon hōsō kyōkai, Japan Broadcasting Corporation), takes in shaping the collective memory in contemporary Japan. The NHK, as a public institution, modelled on the British BBC, conducts a so-called “public mission”, meaning their active and creative participation in shaping social and civil attitudes as well as personality models amongst the Japanese. One of the ways in which the NHK carries out its mission is taiga dorama (“Big River Drama”), the NHK’s flagship productions released yearly since 1963. The creators of these year-long TV series design great national epics recounting historic events and portraying famous historical figures. “Big River Dramas” do not only retell historical events, but also rekindle the interest of the Japanese in their own history and culture. As the carriers of collective memory, they contribute to developing its three elements: cognitive (propagating historical knowledge amongst the society), emotional (creating certain attitudes towards history) and behavioural (developing national tourism).
