On Sunday night, October 13, I attended a special birthday celebration of legendary Toho SFX director Teruyoshi Nakano, who turned 84 on October 9.

One party-goer brought a replica hat of the type that Nakano-san used to wear on the sets of his SFX films. I learned that he wore the hat during dangerous shots as a kind of protection against whatever might come falling his way.

Toho SFX staff member Takashi Naganuma was also on hand for the festivities. It was quite enjoyable chatting with both gentlemen.
And that's about it. It was a cool evening with a giant of the Godzilla series. I look forward to many more such birthday celebrations!
