It's great Tanaka Kinuyo's work will get a release, but I'm a little disappointed it's not getting a fuller release. It certainly deserves it.

It's July 30 again, the day Obayashi Nobuhiko's mainstream debut HOUSE/ハウス was released in 1977, 48 years ago

Back at it again

Finally got around to getting a copy of Obayashi's first book, My American Movie

Just bought this and realized it's probably the oldest book in my (current) collection. Not saying too much, it was just published in 58, but I was surprised to see it came with a hanko seal by the author, Iwasaki Akira

It's January 9 here in Japan, the day Obayashi Nobuhiko was born in 1938. He would be 87.
大林監督誕生日おめでとうございます！

Got access to a new (to me) Obayashi

Random classic Japanese film posters in the basement of a mall I'm in.
