Previous research on this film details several of the critical events that led to its creation; however, until now, extensive examination has yet to detail the journey of the film across Europe after it was shown in Berlin in May 1932. By examining how <em>Nippon</em> was produced and distributed, we can better understand the complex film industry and distribution mechanisms at work during the peak period of the Great Depression. Between 1932 and 1934, <em>Nippon</em> was shown in specific European cities, with the most extensive screening in France. Since much of the research on <em>Nippon</em> has focussed on its release in Berlin, numerous fascinating elements concerning the December film release in Paris have been overlooked. Along with a performance by an acclaimed Japanese dancer, the Paris premiere was attended by the Japanese ambassador to France and several high-profile figures. The gala and subsequent film screening also received numerous reviews, highlighting an evident preference of the French for Japonisme.</p>
