Photos by Hiroshi Hamaya taken of disappearing rural traditions in the cold Niigata prefecture, 1940-1945. Which later appeared in his 1956 book “Snow Land.”
Scanned by me.
The only international film to earn Best Picture has a scene in the climax where the rich patriarch covers his nose cause he can’t stand the smell of the lower class man who just killed a lower class woman. Smell is a class/racial signifier in a lot of art.
