You might be interested in this drama about Professor Keene?s life as a scholar of Japanese literature. By the way, Donald is 93, or so, and has just finished a book about Ishikawa Takuboku. Forthcoming from Columbia University press. I read the manuscript, which makes use of Takuboku?s diaries. I found the work compelling. As we suspected, Japan?s ?nicest poet? was a pretty virulent guy.

This article got around (in Japanese) in the last month or so. It was published on October 25 by a reporter that poked around her neighborhood. A neighbor told him the reporter that Hara entered the hospital in "mid-September." Considering how she led the last half of her life, it's not surprising we didn't hear about her passing until now. I'm actually curious how word got out. If anyone hears more, do tell. http://zasshi.news.yahoo.co.jp/article?a=20151025-00010000-jisin-ent Markus Sent from my iPad > On Nov 25, 2015, at 9:29 AM, Gerow Aaron wrote: > > The news services report that Hara Setsuko, the star of so many great Japanese films, is dead at age 95.
