style="font-family: monospace;">Hi Roger,<br><br>Thank you for pointing 
this out!<br><br>If I may, here I think "mazaru" probably means 
something more like "mix in", so "when kanji are mixed in [with the 
kana]" - not quite the same thing as Eisenstein’s "combination" of two 
"hieroglyphs". <br><br>It's interesting though to note that Hashimoto's 
position is the standard argument for retaining kanji, only backwards - 
instead of "we use kanji to avoid ambiguity," it's "I avoid kanji to 
preserve ambiguity" (or at least fluidity). The Wikipedia article says

Shinobu, famed as the screenwriter for Kurosawa Akira's 
Rashomon and The Severn Samurai, died on the 19th at the age of 100. 
Hashimoto learned screenwriting under Itami Mansaku, and wrote the first
 draft of an adaptation of Akutagawa's In a Grove on his own while 
working as a salaryman. The screenplay, ending up in the hands of 
Kurosawa, was rewritten and made as Rashomon. Hashimoto became part of
