[KineJapan] Dr. Yamazato Masato

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Okada Hidenori mentioned on Facebook that he just learned that Dr. Yamazato Masato passed away a couple of years ago in 2014. Dr. Yamazato was a doctor in Okinawa, but his real love was cinema. The result of his years of involvement in film was the book *Anʾyatasa! : Okinawa, sengo no eiga : 1945-1955*, a fascinating account of the first decade of film after the war in a place that was crazy about film. You know Kokusai Dori in Naha? That was not named "International Avenue" because of some international friendship initiative. It was named after the Kokusai Film Theater. Dr. Yamazato treated both my family and me to some wonderful nights out on the town when we visited Okinawa. I want to thank him both personally and as a film scholar.
