<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We haven't mentioned representations of the burakumin. Two
films by Ichikawa Kon deal with this and others make allusions. There are
also misrepresentations, including <SPAN

Asia'. Although this has now appeared in a number of US libraries, it still
hasn't appeared in the UK. The publishers don't have a contents list, only

emails.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

also Naruse's film Whistling in Kotan, a.k.a A Whistle in My Heart (Kotan no
kuchibue), 1959, about the Ainu. I don't know if it's easy to get
though.<BR>Katie<BR><BR><BR>______________<BR>Catherine Russell<BR>Professor,

suggest some easy to get films (for ex. on DVD), either<BR>documentaries or
fiction films, on minorities in Japan. Especially<BR>films on Ainu and Okinawans
are sought. These are to be shown on a<BR>Linguapax film series at
IUC.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Eija<BR><BR>-- <BR>Eija
