“Japanese Cinematic Activities in Manchuria”

Former UHM Chancellor Tom Apple and Dr. Genshitsu Sen, Sōshitsu Sen XV

On Friday, October 24th, Dr. Hanae Kramer shared her research exploring the filmographic adventures of the Japan-operated South Manchuria Railway Company and Manchuria Motion Picture Corpo- ration in the decades leading up to WWII. Japanese film production in colonially occupied Manchuria was a dominant means of dissemi- nating propaganda. Though the films were created to satisfy largely political ends, a distinctive and not artistically insignificant style was created. This was thanks largely to an impassioned division head who oversaw the varied and prolific output. Because these films and the circumstances of their creation have been largely lost and forgotten, lecture attendees appreciated the rare opportunity to learn about this topic.

From the Library 110 Rare Ryūkyū Titles from Sakamaki/Hawley Collection Now Online

The Sakamaki/Hawley Collection, purchased in the early 1960s Figure 1: Digitizing process, Masahide Yokomoto and Zen Uchida with help from the local Okinawan community, is managed by the Library’s Asia Collection Department. A digitization project was completed in March 2014 (Fig. 1) through a collaborative effort between the libraries of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UHM) and the University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. The project utilized Hamilton Library’s high resolution scanner with further enhancements done by the University of the Ryukyus Li- brary for posting on its Ryukyu/Okinawa Special Collection Digital Archives (Fig.’s 2, 3 & 4). Clicking the “English 英文” or “Descriptions 解説” tab will show succinct scholarly summaries of each item in English and Japanese. The University of the Ryukyus Library will gradually add exciting functions such as “modern language translations in Japa- nese and English, “現代語訳,” transcribed prints of original manu- scripts “翻刻,” and “Glass Window (mouse-over) side-by-side Figure 3: List of the Sakamaki/Hawley titles views of original handwritings and modernized transcriptions ガラ スウィンドウ .” (Fig. 5) The project increases access to rare/special collections while preserving the fragile pieces of the original mate- rials. Special appreciation goes to Dr. Robert Huey (EALL) who reviewed and edited the English summaries. More than 100 other titles are scheduled to be available online in early 2015. Both libraries are selecting additional works for this project throughout 2015 so please stay tuned.
