Hi everyone, </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I have a quick question for those of you who might know a little about Kyoto film history. Does anyone know of a film company called Daido Eiga (大同映画) that was around circa 1946/47? The name came up in something I'm researching, and it seems to be a thing,
but I can't find anything of substance about it on the internet.</div>
