Compilation of a series of Special Report series. Looks at life in Japan. Compares the bustle of Tokyo to the relative quiet of Kyoto. The overview includes commerce, local customs (flower arranging, tea ceremonies), the Shinkansen (bullet train), and New Jersey's long association with Fukui, Japan (since 1867) when the first Japanese student entered Rutgers University. Also discusses the Griffis Collection at Rutgers University, which details the history of William Griffis' relationship with the city of Fukui. Issued in four segments that are represented on this videorecording.
