[KineJapan] Makino Mamoru book

[Earl Jackson]

This Makino book will be invaluable in so many ways, and this really brings
home to me how complex, intricate, and multifaceted Japanese cultural
histories are. I recently previewed an essay at Academia Sinica in Taipei
I'm writing on Otsuka Eiji's manga featuring Yanagida Kunio. I had no idea
that Otsuka was handling these interview tapes, and certainly had no idea
he had access to the Miki Shigeru tape. The intersection here is Miki's
quizzical collaboration with Yanagida.This is just a small example of how
incalculable the discoveries in this book will be.
