It is the excellent film stock and photography of this Fitzpatrick travelogue that make it worthwhile to see in the year 2008. By now most of the women shown in it have probably died, and one wonders how much modern Japan really resembles the society shown in this 1937 short. But it does have it's point. Fitzpatrick shows the loves of flowers including tulips but also cherry blossoms in Japan, and then shows how the love of flower is mirrored in the dressing and coiffuring of women in the country. The hairdos of Japanese ladies were supposed to tell you everything about them (married, single, widowed, childless, having children). So was the kimono, but even more the fancy styled obi (sash) which was to show social class and wealth. So you do learn something still from this travelogue, though how much of it is still relevant is another matter.
