Accurate Images of Japan: Finally.

One of the most important aspect of my job as a teacher of Japanese history is dispelling the erroneous images so many have of the Japanese and Japanese culture. With films like "Memories of a Geisha," and "Last Samurai," Hollywood is no help at all... until now.

Finally, it looks like a film on Japan is about to be released that will finally set the record straight. I think this will be a critical component to all my classes from now on. I'm so relieved.

I suppose Japanese impressions of the US based on films is just as accurate!
