At the exercise area situated at the foot of Mt. Fuji, the prewar Imperial Japanese Army and the present Self-Defense Forces are engaged in training, and students are devoted to a dangerous exercise, the Human Pyramid. The fragility of the education based on militarism which emphasized spiritual strength and of the human pyramid is represented with cheap aluminum foil.
