Jorg also referred to Riyū, 2004, on KineJapan on 1st March 2017.

  Hello everyone,
I have a Masters student writing his dissertation on Obayashi Nobuhiko. 
As you know, we are in total lockdown in the UK and so I was wondering in the first place if anyone knows of any accessible online English language resources or then, for a future date, any accessible print resources.
Any help appreciated!
All best wishes,
Alastair
