Atsugi soon went on to script and film documentaries herself, but it was her misfortune to begin her career in the mid-1930s, just as Japan was embarking on a course of virulent nationalism and militarism.
Atsugi is committed to bonding with the people she is seeking to depict, and the world she must enter is very much a woman's world, a world of mothers, day care providers and children.
Atsugi Taka clearly conceives of her identity as the result of just such a process, and she goes to some lengths to demonstrate how the process is constantly being 'fragmented' and 'disrupted' by the discourses around her.
