Kinema Shuho reprinted

[Mark Nornes]

Yumani is reprinting Kinema Shuho with the Film Center. This is, along  
with Kokusai Eiga Shinbun, the most important prewar industry rag.  
Extremely valuable for tracking what was going on in the film business  
in the 1930s. The people behind it are a crazy combination if there  
ever was one. Founded by Tanaka Jun'ichiro, he gave the reins to  
figures like former censor Tachibana Takahiro and former Prokino  
founder Sasa Genju. It's a meaty, precious resource.

As you can imagine it's pricey. But if you are at an institutional  
with the library that can afford, make sure they buy it.  These  
reprints are expensive because they sell so few sets; even one set  
helps keep them economically viable. But we are lucky in Japanese film  
studies to have so many paper reprints. They have made it so, so much  
easier to access the archive?no matter where you are.
