Ichikawa Jun (1948-2008)

[Aaron Gerow]

Alex,

One obit that I read said that he started working at a TV CM company  
in 1975 and turned freelance in 1981. He started his own production  
office in 1983. He did continue to make CMs after becoming a film  
director. Here, for instance, is one he did a couple of years ago in  
2004:
