Eiji Tsuburaya, Bantsuma, and Tomu Uchida: Untold Tales from Sugamo Studio

This book delves into the early, lesser-known careers and connections of three legendary figures of Japanese cinema: Eiji Tsuburaya, the father of special effects; Tsumasaburo Bando (Bantsuma), a pre-eminent silent film star; and acclaimed director Tomu Uchida. It uncovers previously untold stories from their time at the historic Sugamo Studio, shedding light on their formative years and collaborations during a pivotal era in Japanese film history. Published by Nishida Shoten, this volume offers a unique historical perspective on these influential figures, appealing to film historians and fans of classic Japanese cinema. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
