On Thursday, August 13, I went to the National Film Archive of Japan to check out its Shochiku at 100 exhibit. It was interesting, but a bit of a disappointment. It mostly consisted of various posters, and while there were a few other items (such as storyboards and scripts), it was largely for films I'm not familiar with.
The X from Outer Space (1967) was represented with an international poster, as well as the trailer playing on a constant loop (along with trailers for several other notable Shochiku titles). Other than that, there just isn't a whole lot to talk about. It was a nice exhibit; I just wish I had more to share about it!
