If there was a video I missed it. There was a gallery of still shots
and at the dinner table the boy's face was blocked by a bowl which you
could assume was a handleless tea cup but if you noticed the
chopsticks it was obviously a rice bowl. I didn't notice any tea
apperati in the shots. It's not important in any case. I don't blame
anyone for never forgetting about brutalities. My father in law
fought in the Pacific and will only travel as far as Hawaii. He
associates tea with the Japanese and when I visit I keep my proclivity
low profile.

Is this during the dinner scene? I watched again, but didn't see what
you're referring to. If you can tell me at what time point this occurs,
I might be able to spot it.

Japanese Tea Ceremony is
very deeply connected to the issues of Japanese national character,

I believe that the old Japanese traditional systems of values of which
Bushido is as central as imperial rule are coming.

I too was skeptical of this farfetched claim. But shocking evidence
recently unearthed proves shows that tea is indeed irrevocably linked
with the murderous and fanatical Japanese psyche. Filmed in 1941, just
shortly before the attacks on Pearl Harbor, this documentary provides a
glimpse into the secret world of Japanese militaristic indoctrination.
See the young boys of the day being shaped into the barbaric Kamikaze of
tomorrow. And it all begins...WITH A SIP OF TEA!
