[KineJapan] Book Launch Event:

[Markus Nornes]

I feel like I should mention *The Japanese Cinema Book* in this context
(ed. by Hideaki and Alastair;
https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-japanese-cinema-book-9781844576784/). And
this on the heels of Daisuke's *Oxford Handbook of Japanese Cinema* (
https://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199731664.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199731664)
and
Julian and Nikki's massive 4-volume reader, *Japanese Cinema *(
https://www.routledge.com/Japanese-Cinema/Lee-Stringer/p/book/9780415530392
).

This is all happening within the space of 6 years. The number of amazing
people writing in the field is impressive. The fact that nothing here feels
redundant is testament to the richness of the field and is pretty amazing.
We're pretty lucky. Who's going to put out the next one!?!?
