Women of Japan (1x15)

Fecha de emisión: Nov 19, 1966

Arguably, the ideal woman is Japanese. She knows how to obey, how to be submissive, to keep silent, to charm with her shy tenderness... a man's woman perhaps. The perpetual bow and the ceremonial smile did help to create a social harmony, a formal serenity. But today, Americanisation has dented a rigid code, is emancipating the feudally subservient Japanese woman. She is in danger of losing most of what makes her different - so old-fashionedly feminine, so captivating to the Western male.
