respect japanese culture from indonesia

This film is excellent! It shows how well organized Japanese were and still are!

10:54 I never thought i'd see the day a 1940s voice over said: *"Can you just hear her heart going Doki-Doki"*

3:54 The girl on the extreme right is Ms. Kuwano Michiko, the famous Japanese actress ! The OSS must've taken this scene from one of her numerous hit movies !

Compared to the other wartime films like Know Your Enemy Japan, this one is surprisingly propaganda-free. It even pokes fun at the Japanese mildly in a whimsical "this is a Japanese person doing their version of what we do" manner that suggests a common humanity. It passes up on countless opportunities to portray the strict discipline in many aspects of Japanese culture, the gardens, ikebana, kendo, etc. as a symbol of enemy fanaticism. It goes into the hierarchical nature of Japanese society but only in a matter-of-fact tone. 1943 is well after the internment of Japanese Americans had begun, so I'm quite surprised this film was made with this tone.

I like how this started out promising "facts" about Japan as if it was going to be an in-depth sociological study and turned into some guy riffing on a bunch of movie clips. 😆 I still enjoyed it though--the old footage of Sumo and martial arts was especially cool (even though they misidentified Aikido as judo or jiujitsu). And in a way it may actually have been more successful at humanizing the Japanese than a more serious documentary.

Toriis are sometimes entrance to nature, such as sea, island and mountain. It 's because one of the object of faith on Shinto is nature. It gives full of food, but sometimes causes disaster, so Japanese have been feeling great power behind nature and cherish it. Interestingly, many torii's are colered red. It reminds us of passing over of Exodus and also "Trii" means "gate" in ancient Hebrew .

Mostly, some are not documentary footage but local cinema footage. They misclassified Aikido as Judo/Jiujutsu but other than that it was actually very real. It was not meant as propaganda but rather for the US intelligence community. I thought the narrator was hilarious though. I couldn't imagine Japan making a documentary for its intelligence community at the time, and it being this entertaining.

It's kind of odd but it seems like even back in the forties when we were at war with them we still manage to be less racist (at least in this film) then we are to many cultures these days. I'm sure it's embellished in some ways and not completely accurate but still they're basically just saying these are average ordinary people just living their lives. an affinity for discipline, precision and respect seem like admirable qualities. nowadays countries we are not even at war with are called "shittholes" by trump! what went wrong!

Generalized perception of Japanese culture. Japan is an island nation. It has diverse sub cultures, even its speech and vocabulary differs from one prefecture to another. For instance, あかん (Akan) means 'No' in Kansai dialect while in standard Japanese is known as Dame.

Not much has changed with men the US since the 40's at least when it comes to misogyny and sarcasm. You should know the enemy and know yourself, if you're arrogant and too busy finding fault you're missing the learning process of the lesson. A rigid nationalistic culture who embraces progress to gain strength and position while adhering to cultural norms privately can be a deceptively dangerous enemy. And likely the reason they were to able to blindside and rock the US Navy in Pearl Harbor.
