> Just a quick note to inform you all that Frederick S. Litten’s book,  
> "Animated Film in Japan Until 1919" has been recently published,  
> here the description:
>
> "In 2017 Japan celebrates 100 years of anime. 1917 indeed saw the  
> first Japanese animated movies being released in Tokyo cinemas,  
> reflecting years of imports of Western animated movies and  
> knowledge. Yet even earlier local printed animation, inspired by  
> German models, had already been available in Japan for home  
> projectors. This study presents, for the first time in English, a  
> detailed and up-to-date account of foreign and local animation in  
> Japan in the first two decades of the 20th century, also including  
> biographical information on the three Japanese anime pioneers of  
> 1917."
