Japan's Censors Obliterate Osculation.
The Japan Society Bulletin states:
The police of Japan did not like to see kissing in public, and,
therefore, film stars are not permitted to osculate on the screen. In
six months up to March 1 the police censors removed 2,350 kisses from
the films.
Only one kiss was allowed to remain. It was a kiss granted to Columbus
by Queen Isabella and was shown in Tokyo only, as the censors deleted it
before permitting the photoplay "Columbus" to appear in the provinces.
Three hundred and fifty-three embraces were omitted from films, states
the Far East. The titles of 2,141 photoplays were altered by the censors
and 127 murder scenes were killed. Reels entirely prohibited numbered
57.
Most films shown in Japan are from America and a large proportion of
them originally contain a little kiss or so, showing the difference in
standard between the East and West.
