Sakuragraph small-format films

[Frako Loden]

Thank you, Roland, for this chunk of information. Do you know of a 
Japanese- or English-language history of Japanese film that deals 
with Yokohama Shinema or Sakuragraph? I don't recall reading about 
them very much.

Another question relating to Sakuragraph: What's the title of a 
reputable small-format-film-specialty magazine or journal? Komatsu 
said this kind of publication might have articles on Sakuragraph.
