[KineJapan] Yamaguchi vs. Hara

[Markus Nornes]

I programmed the Japan Society of New York's current film series, which
commemorates the 70th anniversary of WWII. It contrasts the wartime work of
Hara Setsuko and Yamaguchi Toshiko, as well as their postwar relationship
to their wartime activities. If you are in New York, please check it out.

I couldn't make it, but they asked for a video introduction. It's on their
site, the best I could do with an afternoon and an iPad.  Thankfully, there
will be great introductions by Darrell Davis and Ian Buruma. And Yomota
Inuhiko will do a lecture about Yamaguchi; I saw this at Uplink a couple
months ago, and it's very fascinating.

There have been a couple great write-ups. Nick Pinkerton came up with an
amazing headline, "Pretty Hurts":

And Mike Hale from the Times has an excellent piece that concentrates on
Yamaguchi:

One of the spectators dropped me a line. He has a quite amazing website on
Yamaguchi that is reprinting all sorts of things. Fascinating stuff. You
can get lost in there for a considerable time!
