Matsumoto's Ginrin was re-discovered? Good news! ("The people involved at the time split up and looked for it, but the company that made it had gone under and no one knew where it was, even though it was pretty valuable.(...) it was priceless and it's a shame the negative is lost  --> http://www.yidff.jp/docbox/9/box9-2-e.html )
