Quote:
"This film [The Mask of Nippon] finds Japan a nation enslaved by an ancient feudalism made deadly by its union with the worst in Western capitalism. It presents Japanese life—industry, education, home life, sport and ritual. Most of this was taken by the Japanese themselves and was originally meant to be favorable propaganda."
