There is no question that western filmmaking alone has impacted the way Japan tells and even markets their stories.Īt the same time, Japanese filmmakers like Akira Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki, and Takeshi Kitano have crafted films whose importance to audiences went far beyond native shores. Japan has cultivated its own artists and creations, while simultaneously embracing characters and stories from other parts of the world.

Every country contributes to global cinema. Like any other country that produces and distributes its own movies, a look through the history of Japanese film reveals some of the most influential films of all time. Japan has been making and releasing movies since approximately 1897. EDUCATIONAL MEDIA, INC.No list of the best Japanese movies ever made can accurately cover the history of Japanese cinema.
