Yomota Inuhiko provides a concise and lively history of Japanese film that shows how cinema tells the story of Japans modern age.Discussing popular works alongside auteurist masterpieces, Yomota considers films in light of both Japanese cultural particularities and cinema as a worldwide art form. He covers the history of Japanese film from the silent era to the rise of J-Horror in its historical, technological, and global contexts.

Along the way, he considers the first golden age of Japanese film; colonial filmmaking in Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan; the impact of World War II and the U.S. occupation; the Japanese film industrys rise to international prominence during the 1950s and 1960s; and the challenges and technological shifts of recent decades.
