The first English-language examination of this vital cinematic tradition Among Asian countries—where until recently documentary filmmaking was largely the domain of governments—Japan was exceptional for the vigor of its film industry. And yet, Japanese documentary remains largely unstudied outside of Japan. The first English-language study of the subject, this book provides an enlightening look at the first fifty years of documentary film theory and practice in Japan.
Very deftly Abé Mark Nornes balances historical discourse and contextual analysis. His readings are brilliant. This book breaks new ground in charting the development of Japanese documentaries in the prewar and Occupations eras. This is the first comprehensive study of this subject in English. — Keiko McDonald, University of Pittsburgh
