Harada-san was just at the University of Michigan for a few events built
around Kamikaze Taxi. I'll try to write more about that later, when it's not
so late at night. We had a chance to talk about some of the issues raised
about his films on Kinejapan.

For the time being, I can tell you that he had three other projects that
fell through before he was asked to direct Inugami.

How was the photography? He said he modeled many scenes on specific Baroque
paintings....because he liked the feel, not because he thought people would
recognize the references.

They looked for locations in Shikoku, but decided not to use them because
they were so remote and not as nice as the ones they found on Honshu. Sorry,
but I can't remember the name.
