[KineJapan] Announcement: Developments in the Japanese Documentary Mode

[Michael Raine]

The special issue of *Arts *that Marcos Centeno and I edited, now
titled *Developments
in the Japanese Documentary Mode*, has been published as a book by MDPI.
The book is open access and available as a free PDF download from this
page:
https://www.mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/3845

We'd like to thank the authors again for their contributions, which we
think are valuable contributions to the field. We'd be very grateful if
people in a position to do so would recommend the book to their libraries:
the paper version isn't free but perhaps it will catch the eye of students
who still explore the library stacks.
