Japanese traditions and culture in London(1968). If it's restaurants, origami or dance, see here how the two cultures collide in London. London. Various shots of a Japanese woman in traditional dress of kimono walking along a street and going into the building of Japan Air Lines. Inside, she shows an English dolly-bird the art of origami by making a paper bird from a square of yellow paper. In the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant (the Hiroko, London's only traditional Japanese restaurant at this time) a chef puts a dove made from sweet potato onto a plate of flowers made of radishes and carrots. In another part of the kitchen, a groovy young Japanese man prepares sushi. On a small platform in the restaurant a woman in traditional dress does a Japanese fan dance. Various shots of two young Japanese couples around a low table, eating with chopsticks. An English couple arrive at the restaurant, taking off their shoes before entering; they eat prawns and nibbles / hors d'oeuvres from the sweet pot
