[KineJapan] Hara Setsuko

[Markus Nornes]

There were rumors about her being hospitalized. 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.
