JAPANESE DOCUMENTARY FILM: The Meiji Era through Hiroshima
Abé Mark Nornes 
University of Minnesota Press | 248 pages | 21 halftones, 4 figures | 2003
ISBN 0-8166-4045-9 | hardcover | $54.95
ISBN 0-8166-4046-7 | paperback | $19.95
Visible Evidence Series, volume 15

Among Asian countries‹where until recently documentary filmmaking was
largely the domain of governments‹Japan was exceptional for the vigor of its
film industry. And yet, Japanese documentary remains largely unstudied
outside of Japan. The first English-language study of the subject, this book
provides an enlightening look at the first fifty years of documentary film
theory and practice in Japan.

³Very deftly Abé Mark Nornes balances historical discourse and contextual
analysis. His readings are brilliant. This book breaks new ground in
charting the development of Japanese documentaries in the prewar and
Occupations eras. This is the first comprehensive study of this subject in
English.² ‹Keiko McDonald
