Until recently, it was believed that no colour film of Japan existed before 1945. But specialist research has now unearthed a remarkable colour record from as early as the 1930s. Examples of these extraordinary scenes include Imperial Japanese troops in Manchuria, the visit of Prince Chichibu - Emperor Hirohito's brother - to Britain and his meeting with Adolf Hitler, Japanese aggression in China, unique colour film of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and vibrant scenes of life on the Japanese home front.
