Japan--Land of Tradition
"Japan is an ancient land with a uniquely japanese way of life. It is also the most progressive country in Asia. Its preoccupation with progress, however, has not destroyed its pride in its history nor its love of tradition. The Japanese seem to have been successful in combining yesterday, todayand tomorrow. The japanese virtues of order, propriety and courtesy are very real. One or more of these virtues is evident in almost everything in the country. They are the foundation of the culture around which 'Japan: Land of Tradition' develops." --AV-ED Films SEQUENCES: national characteristics, the Home, The Geisha, The Land, Agriculture, Population, Home Industries, Religion 1328 A: A-roll` 1328 B: B-roll
