Kanji Furutachi: Reacting to Japan's film industry
Over the years I've heard many complaints about the bad acting in Japanese films, from the hammy emoting of over-indulged veterans to the amateurish turns of "idols" cast more for their agency connections than any perceptible talent. I've added to this chorus of negativity, but I've also noticed that often the best things in otherwise forgettable movies are the supporting actors who bring a spark of originality, individuality and professionalism to even blink-and-you-miss-them roles.

Foujita's struggle between Paris and Tokyo
Few Japanese artists have received the extremes of acclaim and censure that Leonard Foujita (Tsuguharu Fujita, 1886-1968) has. Based in Paris from 1913 he became Japan's only painter of international significance at that time, and by the 1920s, he commanded prices comparable to Picasso. As a leading and enthusiastic painter for Japan's military during World War II, he was subsequently vilified in the postwar manhunts seeking ideological complicity.
