The cinema of Japan (Nihon eiga?) has a history that spans more than 100 years. Japan has one of the oldest and largest film industries in the world, being currently the third largest by number of feature films produced. Movies have been produced in Japan since 1897, when the first foreign cameramen arrived. Japanese cinema can be more difficult to define than it seems at first. In general, it would seem to cover films made by Japanese companies and personnel, filmed in Japan in the Japanese language, and screened first at Japanese movie theaters. In that case, what is to be made of Gō Takamine making films in Okinawa using the Okinawan language, of Akira Kurosawa or Nagisa Ōshima producing works with foreign capital, or Yōichi Sai, a zainichi, making films about Koreans in Japan? Such films, even though they do not meet all of the requirements, are mostly recognized as Japanese films, but the increasing borderlessness of production and distribution, combined with the added complexity of Japanese society and culture in a global age, is making a strict definition more difficult.
