<div dir="ltr">Dear M. Baldwin,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">This is wonderful news to hear about a website about the great Tomu Uchida !<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I just made a quick visit and, if I can make a little contribution, I would<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">like to draw your attention about a french video release of the Musashi<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">films in a DVD boxset :<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>

<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thank you again for providing so many informations about the filmmaker.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Best regards,<br>

</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> I would like to draw this list?s attention to the creation of a new<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> organization and website in honor of the great Japanese director Uchida<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Tomu (1898-1970). It is called IUTAS: The International Uchida Tomu<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Appreciation Society, located at www.uchidatomu.com.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> The website is at once an information resource, a blog and a club. (Note:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> the site is only for educational and social, not marketing, purposes.) Here<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> is a brief summary of what can already be found there.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - An Introduction post that explains how I became aware of Uchida Tomu<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> and in which I make a case for him as a major artist<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - A long Biography page which is, as far as I know, the most complete<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> bio of Uchida ever published in the English-speaking world<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - A blog that now includes extensive reviews of five Uchida films: A<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji (1955), Police Officer (1933), The Mad Fox<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> (1962), Twilight Saloon (1955) and a work of animation, Tale of Crab<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Temple (1924 or 1925), which is Uchida?s earliest extant film. There<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> are many more reviews of Uchida?s movies for which I?ve composed the first<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> drafts, and these will be posted in finished form in the coming weeks.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - A complete Filmography of the director, with notes<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - A Members page where IUTAS members can contribute their personal<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> bios and share their testimony about discovering Uchida and the experience<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> of seeing his films<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - An Uchida Reviews page, on which I and others will post reviews of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> DVDs, Blu-Rays, books and other Uchida-related items<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - An About Us page with links to recommended Japanese Cinema sites<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> - A Contact page, including a brief video clip from Earth (1939).<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Among those who are currently IUTAS members are film critic and author<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Akasaka Daisuke, Dan Sallitt, the creator of A Mikio Naruse Companion online<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> <<a href="https://mikionaruse.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">https://mikionaruse.wordpress.com</a>>and Hayley Scanlon, creator of the Windows<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> on Worlds <<a href="http://www.windowsonworlds.com/" target="_blank">http://www.windowsonworlds.com</a>> site.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Uchida Tomu?s achievements have been neglected for far too long. It's time<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> to give him the recognition his stature in Japanese film history deserves.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> It's also time for those film fans who are not Japanese film scholars to<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> begin to grasp the richness of Japanese Cinema beyond the work of the ?Big<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> Three? ? Mizoguchi, Ozu and Kurosawa ? and this site can be considered a<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">> small step in that direction.<br>
</div>
