[KineJapan] translation of gurabia

[Jonathan M Hall]

Thank you to John and to Aaron for these suggestions and comments. They're
very helpful, as always. I've been increasingly interested in the variable
cross-overs between film and photo cultures.

Photo section may be the way for me to go.  I'm hesitant to use gravure
itself unless I find it describing the US context, too.  I'd be more
inclined to follow Aaron's suggestion if the focus were solely Japanese,
but in this case, the materials at hand are Japanese, but also American too.

Pinups, in my understanding, often came out of magazines, but the sense I
have is they were one photo per page. In (American) English, we can refer
to photo spreads, but this is the case when the image/s cross two adjacent
sides (a side is half a page.)

I'll peruse some writing about film fan magazines and report back if I find
something that may be useful.  Otherwise, thank you very much! I guess this
short conversation can come to a close.

Jonathan
