A companion-piece to Program No. 3, this program introduces two Japanese city families and explores their lives and ideas. A modern and very Westernized “new” family and a traditional “old” family show the contrasts of today’s Japan within the cities themselves. City life breeds a more rapid form of change than does life in the country. Industrialization, the increasing world markets for goods, greater communication with other parts of the world, and increasing exposure to other ways of life – all of these have worked to Westernize the city dweller. This program was shot for the series in Tokyo, and features comments by Professor Ronald Dore of the London School of Economics, who was in Tokyo at the time the program filmed. Professor Robert Ward appears as host.
