Noriaki Yuasa's final resting place. Photo by Brett Homenick.
The entire Showa Gamera series (minus Gamera vs. Barugon, 1966) was directed by Noriaki Yuasa, whose youthful, energetic spirit made the monster movies he helmed true standouts. Mr. Yuasa passed away in 2004, and yesterday, I visited his grave for the first time.
His final resting place is located in Kissho-in Temple near Keio Tama-Center Station in Tama, Tokyo. As someone who has always enjoyed the Showa Gamera series, and who had the privilege of meeting Mr. Yuasa back in 2003, I was glad to have a chance to pay my respects to the late director.
RIP, Mr. Yuasa.
Do you know where the final resting place for Yoshiko Tanaka is?
