From Brushed in Light: Calligraphy in East Asian Cinema by Markus Nornes

  • The paperscape from Yoshida Kiju’s Akitsu Onsen (1962) is textural, not pictorial. The calligraphy is by Shimada Toko, one of the most important modern artists of Japan. This is the credit for the leading actress, Odada Mariko, who chose the calligrapher for this work.
