Abstract

This study aims to explore the success factors of the cross-cultural dissemination of the film "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" in Japan. Firstly, it examines the social context of both "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" and "Kikujiro" when they were released in Japan around the year 2000, comparing them with the social realities in China at that time to analyze the objective reasons for their success. The study then conducts a comparative analysis of the two films, investigating the role of thematic setting, the use of cultural symbols, and the reliance on tradition in the context of successful cross-cultural dissemination.
