""history of japan":[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh5LY4Mz15o]" is a viral video, originally uploaded to YouTube in February 2016 by American artist Bill Wurtz. The video is a bizarre 9-minute-long documentary in which a (mostly) deadpan Wurtz gives a fast-paced satirical retelling of Japanese history from the ancient era all the way up to the 20th century, frequently intercut with very short melodies. In May 2017, Wurtz uploaded a similarly-formatted video with a much broader scope, called ""history of the entire world, i guess":[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuCn8ux2gbs]".

Please do not confuse this with [[Japanese mythology]].
