Actually 1950-70 might be belle epoque of Japanese culture.
While Koreans got through 1950 Korean war, had to kill each other, had to destruct everything, got lost everything,
Japanese got richer and richer from selling weapons and military things.
And after the war, while poor Korea is full of beggers. rich Japan is full of money.
And with the Korea War money, Japanese can sing a song and song, make films and films.
A Japanese film won Grand Prix in Canne in early 1950's for the first time and kept winning internation film awards for a while after that.
I've seen several of old Japanese films from this period, cuz I like art films and classic films. they were beautiful.
Sine 1950's, Japanese think of themselve they are special, they're not part of Asian, they're part of White people nations.
But time has changed. you know. cuz now is the time for Jpop,J-films to be himiliated by Kpop,K-film.
