Inside of the booklet.

Basically most of the literature here can be found on the Japanese official site.
www.muginoho.jp/

But this map on the right side couldn't be found anywhere as far as I know. It shows where the film was shot.

Official booklet for the film "The Wind That Shakes Barley".

The colour is a bit funny here... due to the lighting (my desk top light!) The real colour is the green that symbolises Eire.

The film title and the islands are beautifully embossed.

I went to see the film at Cine-Quanon Yurakucho (near Ginza) and this is the outside view. It may sound a bit strange, but the cinema is located on the 8th floor of the building, which used to be a department store and now hosts a Bic Camera (a wide range of domestic electric appliances, computers, cameras etc etc).

This is a reposted picture, again, as I don't want this one to slip away.

Original post, which is about one year ago, is here, and another post here, and here, each with some comments.

thirty-year-old sign of "no nukes declaration." large letters were possibly hand-written, in a very beautiful authentic style.

"No Nukes Declaration" can be seen in a lot of cities around Japan, because Japan is the first country that was nuke-bombed (in 1945).

peace. :-)

A set of booklet and postcard from a special exhibition in Tokyo.

These minton tiles, some of which were most probably designed by AWN Pugin, were used for a 1896 building by a British architect, Josiah Conder (1852 - 1920).
