 Johan Nordströmand I are pleased to announce the publication of The Culture of the Sound Image in Prewar Japan, an anthology on the transition to sound in Japanese cinema. We're fortunate to have some terrific contributions from established and emerging Japanese scholars of the period. It's expensive but I hope the book can find its way into libraries and some personal collections.I've pasted the table of contents below.
