"The poetry of thread is the beginning and the
end of all textile making. [The film] gives a glimpse

design. From new textile production in modern factories,
invented by leading designers and master technicians
in Tochigi, Kiryu and Tokyo to the traditional banana
fiber weaving (basho-fu) of Okinawa, the essence of
Japanese spirit and culture is a woven dialogue between
the past and the future."

The lifestyle of women in Japan remained virtually unchanged for centuries. Then came World War II and Gen. MacArthur's "Grand Design"--a plan for democracy that revolutionized the status of Japanese women. And yet, in some ways, things have not changed very much. Interviews with modern Japanese women, WW II and postwar footage, and depictions of the typical Japanese woman's lifestyle show that the West may have introduced "women's liberation" to Japan, but the women of this country are still searching for ways to overcome old prejudices and to develop their own unique approach to the issue.

| Shinto: nature, gods, and man in Japan. David Westphal/Japan Society. Japan Society, 1984. VHS. 50 min.
|
Conveys some idea of the religious feeling which infuses the Japanese contemplation of nature and the gods or 'kami' the Japanese detect in landscapes, trees, waterfalls; and which prompts them to build simple Shinto or more complex, Buddhist-influenced shrines marked by a balance between natural and man-made space. Includes many views of the Japanese landscape, forests and woods, some rituals of purification, shrine carpenters, rice festivals and Shinto priests and Japanese people at their worship. The following shrines are depicted: Ise Grand Shrine, Izumo Grand Shrine, Kasuga Grand Shrine, Kitano Temmangu, Kumano Hyatama, Kumano Nachi, Munakata Shrine, Nishna Shinmei and Omiwa Shrine. The cinematography is gorgeous; the mood contemplative.
