Thank you all so much. This is very helpful. <div><br></div><div>Just to be more clear: The texts I'm talking about are Shashin Shousetsu in magazines like Shufunotomo and Fujin kouron, about which I am publishing an article in Positions. So the photographer is often the magazine studio, and the magazines gave permission thankfully. There is also text by fiction writers, and I dealt with that to the extent that they are reachable or died fewer than 50 years ago. </div><div><br></div><div>But for some reason, I just didn't really think about the subjects of the photos who are marked as being studio actors and credited. In a sense, you could think of these as being like film stills because they are part of a narrative, but the whole texts only have 10 pages or so, so I could not argue that it is only 5%, which as per Kristin Tompson's argument for free use of film stills. The writers' guild in Japan looked at the images and my article and agreed that this would be "inyou" so that is great. But they also felt I needed permission of the photograph subjects though I've gotten nowhere on their whereabouts - Eiga nenkan might yield something, so that's helpful. I feel I need to do what I can, and also give _Positions_ a good account of what I've tried and how they might think of this legally. I have worked on the permissions for this rather complicated case for so long, and even published a couple of these images in my book, but somehow I didn't really think about the subjects in the photographs as such until quite recently. Shouchiku confirmed that if these were images from a film, only their permission would be necessary, but if it were, say, a portrait of Ozu they would ask his family. This case is sort of in between it seems to me since the subjects in the photo were knowingly posing for a widely distributed text with its own "author" (the author of the accompanying text) and photographer. Some people at Toei are also thinking about this for me too. One made reference to "koe wo kakeru" to the families - supporting Aaron's sense of this being courtesy. Most of the actors are not widely known, though people on this list know them them - generally people in 10-20 films between late 1920s and 70s. I sort of avoided, and happened to find less interesting, the shashin shousetsu with high profile people like Hara Setsuko and Takamine Hideko,</div><div><br></div><div><div>For those not familiar with it, quite helpful on Japan-related image use and permission acquisition is this site: <a href="http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~ncc/imageuse/index.html">http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~ncc/imageuse/index.html</a> They even have some bilingual templates for permission letters. </div><div><br></div><div>Sarah</div><div><br><div><div><div>On Mar 11, 2010, at 12:06 AM, <a href="mailto:KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu">KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
