面白い日本

ENTERTAINING JAPAN

From traditional theatre, geisha, and sports to modern pastimes such as arcade gaming and karaoke, Japanese entertainment offers up a world of delights for escaping the everyday. Even the attractions that seem most traditional, such as kabuki theatre and martial arts, have a firm place in modern society—their historical origins not tying them down in old-fashioned, outdated ways, but allowing them to survive and inspire over the centuries. More modern forms of entertainment such as movies have taken full advantage of the technological innovations of the past century, evolving over the years to remain both influential and enjoyable. In 1954 Godzilla was just a man in a suit, but the spark lit by this postwar classic has grown into an explosion of Japanese films that have inspired moviemakers around the world for decades. The world of entertainment has also created some passionate subcultures—like the J-Pop fanbase and otaku (geeks)—whose enthusiasm has spread around the world and inspired a fascination and love for Japan in a whole new generation.
