[KineJapan] Kawase Redux

[Frederick Veith]

I don’t think the film is available to the general public here until
sometime in June. I can only offer a perhaps meaningless piece of anecdata,
which that the protest at the premiere in Tokyo made it to the Kyodo News
headline ticker on Yamanote-sen, on a day when there had been (judging from
photos) somewhat larger protests against President Biden’s visit which
received no such treatment.
