I had no idea that Otsuka was handling these interview tapes, and certainly had no idea he had access to the Miki Shigeru tape.

fascinating new book is hitting the bookstores. As many of you know,
Makino Mamoru has been very important for film studies in Japan, not
only creating the Makino Collection (now at Columbia) but also
supervising many journal reprints and publishing his own studies of
censorship. This even though he is not an academic (his profession was
documentary filmmaker). Markus Nornesand I published a book dedicated to him quite a long time ago, but a
few years ago, the pop culture scholar Otsuka Eiji "discovered"
Makino-san through one of his students, and began a project on Makino.
This one centered on the cassette tapes of Makino's interviews with a
number of important figures in the film world of the 1930s and 40s. Not
the famous stars and directors, but the women and men behind the camera
or who were studying film from the side. I once used one of these
interviews with Kamei Fumio for YIDFF's Documentary Box, but there was a
real treasure trove of interviews with many others. I was involved with
this project for a bit, but Otsuka divided up the interviews, with each
person transcribing them and presenting on them. The result is this
book, which is edited by Otsuka, Morita Noriko,
and Kondo Kazuto. It features interviews with Atsugi Taka, Miki
Shigeru, Eto Fumio, Hatano Kanji, Kishi Fumiko, Omura Einosuke, Noto
Setsuo, and Ito Takero.<div><br></div><div><div id="m_1749066934984504718gmail-m_-1241808363948530000gmail-m_912793049584423632gmail-m_4844213844317521862gmail-m_7714107849840382795TitleBox">
