Trailer: This is an exciting film from the 1940’s documenting the psychology and living habits of Japanese people. The film covers all aspects of Japanese culture, including sports, the hierarchy of social strata called Pyramid of Ladders, the native religion of Shinto, and the Samurai and Bushido codes. The movie also includes footage of sumo wrestling, jujitsu, judo, horseracing, geisha girls, and a cherry blossom festival.
This is an excerpt from an old TV program called "You Asked For It." Here, Kendo is demonstrated. Interesting bit is that this was back when sweeping was allowed in Kendo.
