Retrospective and book on Yoshida Kiju

[Dick Stegewerns]

Dear KineJapanners,

My excuses for the late reaction. The full details are as follows:

Dick Stegewerns, ed., Yoshida Kiju - 50 Years of Avant-Garde Filmmaking 
in Postwar Japan, Norwegian Film Institute, Oslo, 2010
ISBN 978-82-8025-026-1

I have been a bit overwhelmed by the many orders and have not yet been 
able to deal with all of them, but will try to get my act together and 
start sending out the books by next week.

Regards,

Dick Stegewerns
