[KineJapan] Tsugawa Masahiko

[Zahlten, Alexander]

Aaron, I wonder if you know if Tsugawa will be buried on the grounds of Tojiin Temple in Kyoto (close to Ritsumeikan University)? I haven’t been able to find information if that is the case. Large parts of the Makino family are buried there- fascinatingly, Makino built a studio on the grounds of the temple (!) in 1921, and there is a statue there today in his honor. How and why the temple grounds became the site for one of the early Kyoto studios would be a great research project-

Best,
Alex

Subject: [KineJapan] Tsugawa Masahiko

The great actor Tsugawa Masahiko has died at the age of 78. Starting as a child actor (he appears in Sansho Dayu), Tsugawa was known first for his appearances in sun tribe films such as Crazed Fruit, as well as early Oshima films. After appearing in many yakuza films, he was a regular in Itami Juzo's movies, and starred in many TV dramas. He was acting in 4-5 films a year even up to the end. He was a member of the Makino clan that reigned over the Japanese film world: his grandfather was Makino Shozo (the "father" of Japanese film), his mother the actress Makino Tomoko, his father the actor Sawamura Kunitaro, his brother the actor Nagato Hiroyuki. His wife was the actress Asaoka Yukiji, who died in April. Tsugawa also directed films under the name Makino Masahiko, after his uncle Makino Masahiro.
