The cinema of Japan predates that of Russia, China, and India, and
it has been able to sustain itself without outside assistance for
over a century. Japanese cinema's long history of production and
considerable output has seen films made in a variety of genres,
including melodramas, romances, gangster movies, samurai movies,
musicals, horror films, and monster films. It has also produced
some of the most famous names in the history of cinema: Akira
Kurosawa, Hayao Miyazaki, Beat Takeshi, Toshiro Mifune, Godzilla,
The Ring, Akira, Rashomon, and Seven Samurai. The Historical
Dictionary of Japanese Cinema is an introduction to and overview of
the long history of Japanese cinema. It aims to provide an entry
point for those with little or no familiarity with the subject,
while it is organized so that scholars in the field will also be
able to use it to find specific information. This is done through a
detailed chronology, an introductory essay, and appendixes of
films, film studios, directors, and performers. The
cross-referenced dictionary entries cover key films, genres,
studios, directors, performers, and other individuals. This book is
an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about Japanese cinema."
