Japan Close-Up Article on Japanese Film Industry

As I mentioned in January and December, I have a cover story in the new (March 2009) issue of Japan Close-Up. You can see the contents page here, which contains a blurb on what perspective the article takes.

Although Japan Close-Up is obviously about this country, it's published in Singapore which means it fell victim to the demise of foreign publication distribution monopoly Yohan (background). However, I understand it's available at Kinokuniya and will reappear at other chains soon.

If you've read the history of the industry and follow the trades there might not be a lot you don't know, but I think I did a decent job of condensing piles of material with my own spin on things in one 2400-word essay.
