Requests:  0 Summary:  The Witches of the Orient tells the tale of the Japanese women's volleyball team's thrilling rise, unbelievable 258-game winning streak, and eventual Olympic gold at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. United by their jobs in a textile factory, the Japanese women's volleyball team chased absolute perfection under the guidance of their grueling coach Hirofumi Daimatsu. His methods were so tough that in Japan, he was known as the Demon, with his intense, endless practice sessions, shaping the team into a force to be reckoned with. While the west viewed Japan as an alien upstart in the postwar years, it didn't prevent the team from striking fear in the hearts of their competitors, earning them the racist and dismissive moniker oriental witches. Less an underdog tale than a saga of overwhelming determination that simultaneously subverts and feeds an orientalized mystique, The Witches of the Orient conjures the tenor and tone of the team's grip on the imagination of an entire nation seeking renewal and acceptance on the world stage of the post-war era.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction, AV Room DVD NF   Missing Inventory Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library DVD -- DVD, Fiction DVD Foreign Japanese & French 2297 Missing Inventory Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction DVD-FOREIGN 267 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library DVD -- DVD, Fiction DVD NF Wi   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library DVD -- DVD, Nonfiction DVD-NF 5139 Checked In Add Copy to MyList
