One thing I love about Modern Japan (where I actually live) as opposed to Meiji Japan (were I write) is the sophistication of the museums, treasure houses, temple and shrines. Ceremonies may only occur once or twice a year (and may sometimes be hampered by weather) but there's often a beautifully produced video of the ceremony at its best that one can watch any time, with narration and even subtitles, so you know what you're seeing, and "backstage" footage that one wouldn't get to see at the real ceremony.
