Pre-WWII Japanese Colonial Expansion into China
While Japanese colonial emigrants were lured to the mainland with films that showed wealthy villages where Japanese customs ruled, immigrant laborers to Japan were made to fit into a cultural “mold” enforced through police surveillance, and police-run mandatory cultural education. This film, made by the Japanese government in the 1930s shows the good life for Japanese colonists in Manchuria. Notice the Shinto Shrine and the abundant harvest. SOURCE: NHK TV
