Summary: To apply this model of kitsch to a Japanese film from 1946 is to suggest that A Descendant of Urashima Taro constitutes a kind of phantasmagoria of the lost opportunities of a revolutionary democracy based in the collective aspiration for national renewal. As a studio product made under fairly strict terms of censorship, it is a film that does not take itself entirely seriously. (Catherine Russell)
