Among the nations of the world, Japan has enjoyed an impressively lively print culture related to cinema. The first film books and periodicals appeared shortly after the birth of cinema, proliferating wildly in the 1910s with only the slightest pause in the dark days of World War II. The numbers of publications match the enormous scale of film production, but with the lack of support for film studies in Japan, much of it remains as uncharted territory, with few maps to negotiate the maze of material. This book is the first comprehensive guide ever published for approaching the complex archive for Japanese cinema. It lists all the libraries and film archives in the world with significant collections of film prints, still photographs, archival records, books, and periodicals. It provides a full annotated bibliography of the core books and magazines for the field. And it supplies hints for how to find and access materials for any research project. Above and beyond that, Nornes and Gerow's \u003ci\u003eResearch Guide to Japanese Film Studies\u003c\/i\u003e constitutes a comprehensive overview of the impressive dimensions and depth of the print culture surrounding Japanese film, and a guideline for future research in the field. This is an essential book for anyone seriously thinking about Japan and its cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abé Markus Nornes,Aaron Gerow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 192928053X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781929280537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e U of M Center for Japanese Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2009","brand":"Abé Markus Nornes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066055373055,"sku":"9781929280537","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75ed591f-2302-4a66-9f6d-b3a8e7b84f62.jpg?v=1768677859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/research-guide-to-japanese-film-abzs-markus-nornes-9781929280537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
