Harada Yoshio

[Aaron Gerow]

In what will be a great loss for the Japanese film world, the actor Harada Yoshio passed away today. He was only 71 and still producing great work.

Here's my write up on my blog:

He's mostly been playing grandfathers recently, but a Harada grandfather was unlike any other grandfather in Japanese film.

He will sorely be missed.
