The Japan Journals, 1947-2004Stone Bridge Press, 2004 - 494 ページ "In the 1940s Richie eagerly violated U.S. Occupation rules against "fraternization" to sneak into movie theaters and concerts. His early work as a reporter for Stars and Stripes in Tokyo led to a career as a writer and critic. Interested in film, books, art, and music, he got to meet (and write in his Journals about) scores of Japanese luminaries, among them authors Yasunari Kawabata and Yukio Mishima, Zen philosopher D.T. Suzuki, composer Toru Takemitsu, Kabuki actor Tamasaburo Bando, and directors Yasujiro Ozu, Akira Kurosawa, and Nagisa Oshima." "As Richie's reputation grew (he was instrumental in introducing Japanese film to the West), he became to "go-to guy" for American and European artists passing through town. In the Journals are snippets of conversations from many of these encounters, portraying a whining Truman Capote, a self-absorbed Stephen Spender, a delightful Marguerite Yourcenar. Here, too, are examples of Richie's famously deft travel sketches of landscapes, buildings, and the Japanese urban scene and sense of style."--Jacket. |
