The film explores the professional and personal lives of a Japanese family during mid-1970s. Producer and director - John Nathan. #japan #1970s #everyday_life #history
Excellent piece of Japanese business practices in 1970's. If the sons are 27 and 29 back in 1973, they must be age 75 and 77 in 2021. Maybe their grandchildren run the business now.
What an insight .l hitchhiked through Japan in '89. Had the privlidge of staying with some families. This brought some memories back. Thank you. subscribed 👍
Thank you! This is the Part 1 of Nathan's trilogy about the japanese. Rather hard to find it. Never saw the other two parts -- Blind Swordsman and Farm Song.
Impressive! I am moved by Mr Sugiura's character and devotion to the family business. I believe he's dead already... I hope his son made business still prosper.

Just now reading John Nathan’s autobiography that talks about this film at some length. Wonderful to be able to see it here. Many thanks.

Thanks for watching! yeah, I'm inclined to believe that their parents already passed away, and their children must be very old themselves by now)
Nice documentary 👌
The video was taken 50 years ago it's in a different era

lf time travel was possible, l bet 1970s Japan would be flooded with time travelers.
2020s Japan is not so different from 1970s Japan. Everything stopped in time when the bubble burst
1960s Japan I would go
