This entirely new film replaces IFF's old, popular, award winning film "Japan." Live-action footage of present day Japan contrasts and compares traditional and modern life-styles as we see farms, factories, families at home, a disco, supermarkets, fishermen, as well as Kabuki theatre, a Samurai movie, baseball, a political rally and a university class. Historical black and white footage and animated maps add to an understanding of Japan. A comprehensive overview of one of the most important industrial nations in today's world (1984 IFF catalog).
