@stilIwalking I remember stumbling upon this place when I visited Kamakura 3 years ago. I was wandering aimlessly when I thought, "I wonder if there are any film museums around here." Pulled up Google Maps, and this museum was a two-minute walk down the very road I happened to be on.

My spidey Kumonga senses noticed A WHALE'S LIKENESS in the Godzilla Minus Zero poster!!!

This is either a nod to "Gojira" deriving in part from the Japanese word for "whale" or it means GODZILLA'S GONNA FIGHT MOBY DICK!!! 🤯

I gotta make a blathering 20-minute video about this!

@antilemonhelm I’ll be there this year. Let’s meet up!

I was going through some old photos and stumbled upon these: from the time @normancengland and I visited Yasujiro Ozu's birthplace in Fukagawa and learned, while we were there, of the local Ozu Bridge. A charming discovery.
