Dear Jessica, my iPad doesn't recognise your address on this, so sorry to include all the list. My student Alessia Costa, working on science issues, not fiction!, is around and might be able to help. Yours, Lola <span></span><br>

<br>I will be in Tokyo next week, in part to arrange a viewing at the NFC of KAIDENPA SENRITSU, the only extant Japanese pre-war science fiction film (and then only in fragmentary form), on which I did some research in 2007. However, I am embarrassed to admit that at this point my Japanese language skills are no longer up to snuff and I will need a native/near-native speaker to assist me in notetaking. It's only a few hours' work and of course it would be paid.<br>
<br>Does anyone based in Tokyo have a graduate student or anyone who might be interested in doing this?<br><br>Many thanks, and all the best,<br>Jessica<br>
