The website of the University of Tokyo's Digital Museum discusses a digital
restoration of Ozu's Tokyo Story, see:

http://www.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/dm2k-umdb/publish_db/books/ozu/english/contents.html

Has the restored version of Tokyo Story ever beenshown in theaters? Has anyone
heard of any plans for this version to be released on either video  or
(preferably) DVD?  For that matter, has Shochiku ever discussed its plans for
authorizing DVDs of its back catalog (including, of course, it's Ozu trove)?

Thanks

of these to Ozu's work)
