It grew much more so as the old maps went mad and the fate of America became intertwined with distant places hitherto unknown and still unpronounceable.

But it has not seized the world imagination as it did in the 1950s, when the Western success of Kurosawa's Rashomon unlocked a trove of tantalizing, hitherto unknown masterpieces.
