Oshima's '100 Years of Japanese Cinema'

[Mathieu Capel]

I remember having asked that question about Tamura's name some months ago,
for there is indeed an ambiguity about it, from several archives and film
reports... By that times most of the contributors agreed about Tsutomu...
And so did Yoshida Kijû, who knew him quite well as a matter of fact...
