<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I am working with some photographs of Japanese studio actors and need to reproduce them for publication. They are not film stills but posed directly, which I believe means that I need the actors' permission. I apologize if this is in Aaron and Markus's book already, but is there some means by which to find addresses for such people or their family's (many are deceased)? Generally, these are not particularly famous actors. Many were Shochiku, but Shochiku has no information on them. Does that mean I am unlikely to find them by other means? I am familiar with these issues for copyright, but not sure how to go about finding actors.<div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for any guidance.<br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div>Sarah Frederick</div><div>Associate Professor of Japanese</div><div>Dept.
