Takamine Hideko biography

[Tommaso Torelli]

Dear list members,

two questions for the KineJapan experts willing to help an 
amateur. does anybody know where i can find:

1) the biography of Takamine Hideko (the english version), by
   James O'Brien, titled "Takamine Hideko: the actress".
   i tried already the obvious channels (Amazon and the like),
   but no success.
   also, if anyone has read it already, is it any good?

2) a poster from the photograph on pg. 50-51 of the Kinema
   Junpo special issue of Sep 15, 1997 (featuring "Kurosawa Akira,
   Mifune Toshiro futari no Nihonjin", vol.2).
   the photo portrays Mifune with a funny (tired) expression and
   a smiling Kurosawa at his side. the caption starts "at the end
   of shooting, ...". i believe this is a tough one.

sincere thanks,

	Tommaso
