Yeah, not the best one, but the one Kawase/Sento insisted on when we 
showed it at Yamagata in 1995.  

As for the Japan Foundation, I have heard that the Kyoto office is rather 
unique in its film screenings.  But given the death of the meigaza in 
Tokyo, I would hope the Tokyo office also think about starting screenings.
