Barbarians, fierce and festive
Description
Throughout history, Japanese have met aliens in reality and fantasy, and have tried to incorporate them in their world view. Historian Ronald P. Toby tells how Japanese have expressed their understanding of the foreigner as exemplified by Koreans, Okinawans, Chinese, and Americans both black and white. Location footage is blended with other visual images mostly from 18th and 19th century scrolls, showing aliens as enacted in festivals of the era.
