Each movie illustrates a different type of contextualization of the theme. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Asian Ethnology is the property of Nanzan University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
