Description: The emphasis upon war as a field of glory for the sons of Japan, is partly understandable from the emphasis upon labor for its mothers and daughters. Here women till the fields and row the barges, with babies and rice apparently the chief products of rural Japan. Birthday and wedding celebrations, and the home life of the upper classes. An excellent background film of fine social content.
