Japanese film has recently emerged as one of the major national cinemas and now commands world respect and attention. Donald Richie, the internationally recognized authority, who did so much to introduce the work of directors of the calibre of Yasujiro Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, and Akira Kurosawa to the West, now provides the first ever introduction to Japanese cinema, offering both an up-to-date history and an investigation into the qualities of the jidai-geki (costume drama) and the gendai-geji (contemporary drama) that make Japanese film Japanese.
