Her career overlapped with a transformative period in Japanese history, and this close analysis of her fascinating life and work offers new perspectives, subjectivities and modes of analysis for the classical era of Japanese cinema.Key FeaturesA unique look at the life and career of Tanaka Kinuyo, as both an actor and directorOffers a new perspective on the history of women and film in JapanBrings together a range of Japanese and western scholars
