"Nostalgic Japanese Movie Theaters Encyclopedia" Naohiro Oya Price: ¥1500 + tax Nostalgic movie theaters, once a place of everyday entertainment. The ultimate Showa era feel and nostalgia overflowing throughout. Focusing on visual elements, this book features numerous movie theaters across Japan that were built in the Showa era (or built before the Showa era and flourished during the Showa era). It includes plenty of photos that convey not only the exteriors but also the lobbies, seating areas, and other features of each theater. The book also thoroughly introduces the charm of "nostalgic movie theaters" through text. It incorporates the "passionate feelings for movie theaters" obtained through interviews with theater managers and others, as well as the author's subjective views, creating a "flavor" that is more than just a guidebook. Furthermore, special features and columns will introduce Showa-era movie-related advertisements, pamphlets, advance tickets, discount tickets, and interviews with sign painters. Among these "nostalgic movie theaters," many have already closed (or been rebuilt) due to the rise of multiplex cinemas and other factors. However, by including theaters that were loved by the local community for a long time and have sadly closed, this book aims to be a highly valuable record of Japanese movie theaters, evoking irresistible nostalgia for old movie fans.
