  abstract: This book provides a cultural, historical and philosophical study of Japanese film, from the silent era to the present, focusing on its expansive consciousness. It examines masterpieces by Yasujir, Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Nagisa Oshima and other directors, discussing their influence on the Japanese culture of esoteric Zen Buddhism and relating them to recent neuroscientific theories of brain trauma.
