Enami is probably most famous for her starring role in the "Woman Gambler" series, but she also appeared in many other films, including works by Suzuki Seijun, Matsumoto Toshio, Teshigahara Hiroshi, etc. She even won the Kinema Junpo Best Actress role for role in Tsugaru janagarabushi. She started at Daiei in 1959, with her film debut coming in 1960. Her mother, Enami Kazuko, was also a film actress. https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/201811020000467.html Aaron Gerow Professor Film and Media Studies Program/East Asian Languages and Literatures Director of Graduate Studies, Film and Media Studies Yale University 143 Elm Street, Room 210 PO Box 208324 New Haven, CT 06520-8324 USA Phone: 1-203-432-7082 Fax: 1-203-432-6729 e-mail: aaron.gerow at yale.edu website: www.aarongerow.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He is mainly mentioned for his work on Fukasaku's series, Battle Without Honor Or Humanity. However, during his relatively short though extremely prolific career, he collaborated with many of Toei's leading directors. For example, he was the cinematographer on Uchida Tomu's Bloody Spear at Mount Fuji (1955), Yoshiwara (1960), and the experimental, The Mad Fox (1962). He also worked with all other major directors at Toei, including Makino Masahiro, Sawashima Tadashi, and Kato Tai. He was surely a huge contributor to Toei's jidaigeki and jitsuroku styles. He should be acknowledged as one of Japan's most influential postwar cinematographers, despite, or perhaps precisely because he worked manly on popular films.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: You are cordially invited to the next DIJ History and Humanities Study Group on November 6, 2018, 06:30 P.M. Depictions of Beethoven in Japanese Anime: Japanese Visual Arts Transforming Western Iconography Heike Hoffer, The Ohio State University Beethoven?s legacy is still alive and well in present-day Japan, where his life and works continue to play a major part in Japan?s modern cultural landscape. The Western vision of the wild-haired, scowling genius is commonly recognized in Japan today, and it comes as no surprise that many agencies have tried to harness the power of his unmistakable image to attract Japanese consumers. As such, Beethoven?s distinctive features have been the subject of playful reimagining in many artistic and commercial products, some stretching his persona to the extreme. The composer has also been depicted as a character in Japanese anime, where common historical tropes about his appearance merge with the fantastic ideas of professional character designers. In these examples, we see how contemporary Japanese visual arts can imbue conventional Western iconography with uniquely Japanese aesthetics. Scholar John Tibbetts?s monograph on composer biopics describes how filmmakers forge a tenuous balance between historical record and filmic dramatization in their works, a juxtaposition certainly felt in Japan?s animated depictions of Beethoven. This presentation examines two examples of Beethoven as an anime character. The first is from the 2001 OVA Read or Die, in which Beethoven is a cyborg fated to destroy mankind with his ?Suicide Symphony.? The second is ?Beethes? from NHK?s 2016 comedy anime ClassicaLoid, a stylishly leather-clad android obsessed with cooking the perfect gyoza dumpling. In addition, we will hear how Beethoven?s symphonic masterpieces are transformed in the anime underscores to support the distinctly Japanese characterization of Beethoven found in these popular shows. Heike Hoffer earned a Master?s of Music in Oboe Performance from the University of Minnesota before accepting a full-time position as a music professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, which she held for five years. After her time in Texas, Heike completed a second master?s degree in Musicology at the University of Arizona and is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Musicology at The Ohio State University. She is currently living in Tokyo and conducting research for her dissertation, which is on the subject of Western classical music in Japanese animation.

Like Markus I went in without knowing anything (well, almost), and I found myself liking and enjoying the movie more than I wanted or thought I would. Yes, the characters are overblown and caricaturish, but in the end Arata?s performance worked for me, and yes it is a very partial interpretation of an era by Shiraishi and co., but the final 15-20 minutes really resonated with me emotionally. Maybe was the location.... ps: I?ve also enjoyed the way the music was used and the use of old clips from Wakamatsu Pro?s films Matteo Boscarol ????? ???? ??????????? - Documentary in Japan and Asia http://storiadocgiappone.wordpress.com - Film writer for Il Manifesto http://ilmanifesto.it On Oct 7, 2018, at 8:44, Markus Nornes wrote: >> >> And, of course, while nominally there is a female protagonist at the center, the male scriptwriter and director quite honestly called the film ?Tomerareru ka, Ore-tachi o?; it?s clearly an ?Ore-tachi? perspective.

Hall Lecture in Japanese Studies. This lecture will be followed by a dinner reception at the New Haven Lawn Club (193 Whitney Ave). This talk proposes to situate Japanese animation of the 1930s and early 1940s at the intersection of three lines of historical transformation. First, there was the emergence of new technologies of animation and new ways of organizing animation production, which spurred dreams of producing feature-length animated films whose liveliness promised to rival that of cinema, and to push beyond the boundaries of the cinematic. Second, this situation also saw animation to begin to range across received boundaries of media ? across media forms such as comics, films, magic lantern, radio, records, toys, and games, and across domestic and public sites of consumption. Finally, animation explored new ways of imaging and enacting human-animal relations, at a historical moment increasingly characterized by imperial conquest and total war with their ideologies of dehumanization and bestialization. Working across these three lines of technological, socio-medial and geopolitical transformation, Dr. Lamarre hopes to address some of the troubling legacies that continue to haunt animation as well as the radical possibilities yet to be explored. Thomas Lamarre teaches in East Asian Studies and Communications Studies at McGill University. He is author of numerous publications on the history of media, thought, and material culture, with projects ranging from the communication networks of 9th century Japan (Uncovering Heian Japan: An Archaeology of Sensation and Inscription, 2000), to silent cinema and the global imaginary (Shadows on the Screen: Tanizaki Jun?ichir? on Cinema and Oriental Aesthetics, 2005), animation technologies (The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation, 2009) and television and new media (The Anime Ecology: A Genealogy of Television, Animation, and Game Media, 2018). The John W. Hall Lecture Series in Japanese Studies was established with generous support from Mrs. Robin Hall in memory of her husband. Considered one of this past century?s finest scholars of the history of Japan, John Whitney Hall was born in Tokyo in 1916 and developed an interest in Japanese language, culture, and history at an early age. After receiving his Ph.D. in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Harvard, Hall began his academic career at the University of Michigan in 1949 and came to Yale in 1961 as A. Whitney Griswold Professor of History, a position he held until his retirement in 1983. Professor Hall specialized in the Ashikaga through Late Tokugawa periods, and throughout his career he wrote or edited some of the most important and influential volumes on Japanese history. He contributed to the study of Japan through not only his writing, but also through service as chair of several local and national committees, including the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, the Association for Asian Studies, and the American Council of Learned Societies-Social Science Research Council (ACLS-SSRC) Joint Committee on Japanese Studies. The Council on East Asian Studies hopes this lecture series will enable young and old scholars alike to remember John Whitney Hall?s work and grand contributions to the study of Japan. https://ceas.yale.edu/events/vernacular-animism-cartoon-animals-and-multiethnic-empire -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
