James Hadfield Japan Times “The Making of a Japanese” is an intimate chronicle of a turbulent year defined by the strictures of the coronavirus pandemic. Rated: 3/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse “The Making of a Japanese” is an excellent documentary that sheds much light on how the locals are shaped from the elementary level, as much as a testament on how the order that dominates most aspects of life in the country is instilled in them.

shino k I am a teacher at a Japanese public school. This film portrays things as they are. I believe it's very characteristic of Japan that the same standard of education is carried out uniformly at elementary schools across the country. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Mark M Incredible film, highly recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
