early Japanese cinema anthology / scripts

[John Gorman]

Thanks for this information Markus.

Had been hoping something more around the cost of a regular DVD might  
be available as 18,900 yen is a bit stiff for me.

 From my initial search of past discussions in the KineJapan  
archives, it does not appear that there is a good source of Japanese  
scripts on the Internet.  I will further search the archives tomorrow.

Best regards,

John
