<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial>> hello,<BR>>
<BR>> The Itami version is available at the National Film Center in Tokyo.
Also Naoki Yamamoto has published an excellent article in Japanese on the two
versions of Atarashiki Tsuchi.<BR>> <BR>> As for German-Japanese
connection via Hayakawa Sesshu, there's a 1937 film, though in French, directed
by Max Ohuls called Yoshiwara, co-starring Japanese diva Michiko Tanaka. Not a
film with Greamn-Japanese actors, but an absolutely fascinating film.<BR>>
<BR>> Sincerely,<BR>> <BR>> Ayako Saito<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>>

<BR>>> Dear Professor McCaskey,<BR>>> thanks very much!<BR>>>
that is really appreciated.<BR>>> I once met Itami's assistant editor for
the project,<BR>>> and read the english version of the essay about the
project [by one of<BR>>> authors on this wonderful list],<BR>>> but
