One of my favorite actors Shohei Hino passed away. I’ve always loved the way he made others smile with his comedic charm in films and TV dramas. Rest in peace. I’m going to watch his perfect role in Imo tako nankin tonight.

Just received a new book 『彼女たちのまなざし 日本映画の女性作家』 from my friends, Kitamura Kyohei and Kodama Mizuki, exploring the body of works by various generations of Japanese women film directors. I’m looking forward to reading it over New Year’s holidays along with a few undergraduate theses.
