A World War II propaganda film introduced by a narrator speaking to camera before a map, presenting a survey of Japanese society, culture, and militarism. Early scenes establish national symbols and power with a large torii gate, soldiers on horseback, ranks of officials bowing in formation, flag-waving soldiers marching through city streets, and high-ranking officers standing in disciplined lines. Everyday urban life is shown through kimono-clad pedestrians, vintage trams and cars, crowded train platforms, bank interiors, offices with typewriters and switchboards, and stage performances with dancers and umbrellas. Extensive footage documents traditional labor and crafts: women washing laundry and bamboo mats in wooden tubs, thatched-roof work, hand-sawing logs, and the grinding and inspection of matcha tea powder, along with a woman pouring tea. Industrial and military might is emphasized through textile looms, engine assembly lines, cranes, cannons firing, explosions, and aircraft, while scenes of children in uniform practicing calligraphy and raising their arms stress regimentation. The film builds to sustained sequences of soldiers marching, kneeling and firing rifles, performing drills, fencing, and saluting officers, closing with dense marching formations, fluttering flags, and a 'THE END' card.
