[KineJapan] Animated Film in Japan Until 1919

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Dear members, 

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."
