Asian Insight: Japan - The Bamboo Bends and Does Not Break

1976, 52 Minutes

Modern Japan pulsates with people, colour and prosperity. But behind the everyday courtesies are time-honoured traditions and a society that seemingly is a paradox. Unravelling the history of this complex country leads to a renewed understanding of the Japanese people.
