[KineJapan] New Film: THE OZU DIARIES (Oscar-nominated director Daniel Raim) - now available for Campus Screenings

[Eleanor Zhang]

Hi Markus,

I’m not sure if this is the same book mentioned by Naoki, but there appears
to be a book called 小津安二郎全日记 published by Shanghai Translation Publishing
House in 2020 (picture attached).

Best wishes,
Eleanor
