Background

Toho Bunka Eiga (bunka eiga meaning "culture film") was the documentary film department of Japanese film company Toho. In May 1941, Toho Bunka Eiga as well as Shochiku Bunka Eiga (Shochiku's documentary film department) were absorbed into the newsreel company Nippon Eigasha (formerly Nippon News Eigasha).

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Opening theme to the film.

Availability: Seen on the documentaries Shanghai and Nanjing.

Editor's Note: None.


2nd Logo (1939)

Logo: Over a backdrop of a factory, the Toho emblem is seen with the company name (also handwritten) below.

FX/SFX: The factory smoke.

Availability: Seen on the controversial film Tatakau Heitai, which was criticized by authorities as a potentially "anti-war" film and was banned in Japan.
