<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And I see now I could have got it on Mark's method of
googling NAME site: cinema.intercritique.com, but I hadn't realised I could have

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></DIV><BR><FONT face=Arial>> The director of
Kurokami yasha according to JMDb is 大久保忠 <BR>> 素. I don't recognise
this name and tentatively read it as Ōshii <BR>>
hochūsō.<BR><BR>KineJun gives the name as Ôkubo Tadamoto. He was mostly a
director <BR>during the silent age (known most for having Ozu and Saito
Torajiro <BR>work under him) and later become a studio executive. Kishi
