Bringing together a range of Japanese and western scholars, this is the first book in English dedicated to the actress and director Tanaka Kinuyo. Praised as amongst the greatest actors in the history of Japanese cinema, Tanaka''s career spanned the industrial development of cinema - fromsilent to sound, monochrome to colour.
