	Donald Richie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Donald Richie(born 1924-) is an American-born author who has written a number of books about the Japanese people and arts.
		Richie fell in love with Japan and went on to spend much of the second half of the twentieth century living there.
		In this book, Richie made the distinction between "representational" and "presentational" approaches to filmmaking, which would be the focus of all his analyses of Japanese Film.

	Jonathon Delacour: Donald Richie's visit
		Donald Richie would briefly introduce the film then take questions from the audience for fifteen or twenty minutes at the end.
		Richie explained that Japanese bath-and-massage parlors used to be called toruko-buro (or toruko), loan words based on “Turkish bath.” But in 1985, after a campaign by a Turkish diplomat outraged by the implied insult to his country, the Japanese Bath Association held a competition to find a replacement name.
		Richie, determined to give the outing a cultural gloss, had chosen the Senzoku district since, for over three hundred years until 1958, it had been the site of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter, the heartland of Japanese prostitution.

	Reviews The Japan Journals
		Donald Richie’s latest book, a collection of sketches from his journals, begins with an aerial view of post-war Tokyo in 1947 of the city slowly awakening to the morning mist.
		The last glimpse of Richie is another sketch of Tokyo, but one of a post-modern landscape in Roppongi Hills that has devoured all traces of the past and which predicts a homogenous future without cultural markers.
		Richie, along with his close friend Edward Seidensticker, maintains a continuing interest in the works of Gide, whose self-critical reveries are reflected in his passages.

	Midnight Eye review: A Donald Richie Film Anthology (1962-1968, Donald Richie)
		We'd all had Donald Richie pegged as film writer, arts critic and cultural commentator, but up until now, the series of experimental films he made during the 60s were the stuff of legend, often alluded to, but, for most of us, never seen.
		Richie's work falls into the category of experimental or avant-garde cinema, a notoriously tricky area to write about because of its intrinsically non-narrative nature and the lack of familiarity most viewers have with either the characters working within this hermetic field or the ostensibly cryptic intentions of their work.
		Richie himself insinuates that he was "one of the few people to introduce the whole concept of the Experimental Film to the Japanese".

	The Donald Richie Reader: 50 Years of Writing on Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		That is what separates Donald Richie from the numerous authors of that swollen genre, "books on Japan." Throughout his career, he has concocted a subtle blend, both of his own perspective and that of the people in a land foreign to him but home to them.
		Donald Richie is the Dean of American writers and observers in Japan.
		Richies writings prior to l984 helpedlt;brgt;to shape my initial perceptions of this often bewildering andlt;brgt;enigmatic culture where a smile and crafty deceit are almost one lt;brgt;and the same.

		Richie has made a career writing about Japan, and this is without doubt a masterful travel book filled with germaine research.

	The Donald Richie Reader: 50 Years of Writing on Japan
		Richie may have left Ohio, but he retained his keen Midwestern eye and spent his time in Japan creating marvelous word pictures of his adopted home and descriptions of its twisting mentalities.
		Donald Richie considers himself primarily an observer--"the ostensible is the real." Through his eyes we have come to see Japan and, in a larger sense, the whole human spectacle.
		DONALD RICHIE was born in Lima, Ohio, in 1924 and has lived in Japan since 1947, except for time at Columbia University in the early 1950s and as curator of film at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1968-73.

	Midnight Eye book review: The Japan Journals 1947-2004 (Donald Richie)
		At this point, Richie developed a keen interest in the national cinema: "For me, as for so many, the movies were a preferable form of life.
		Richie's life in Tokyo was certainly by no means limited to film circles.
		Richie's catalogue of this constantly dynamic and changing metropolis is essentially a story with three intertwining narratives: of how Tokyo has intrinsically changed, how it has changed in the eyes of the world, and how the writer has changed within it.

		While Richie's films still surface on the international film festival circuit - appearing at last year's Rotterdam Film Festival and previously at the Vancouver Film Festival - this is the most complete Richie film retrospective ever, featuring most of his 16mm and 8mm work.
		Richie's "realist-allegorical" films formed part of a heady period of avant-garde filmmaking in post-war America and Japan.
		Richie admits that he made films "as a dilettante not as a professional," and for this reason he decided to prematurely end his filmmaking career to focus on writing.

	Bookreporter.com - A HUNDRED YEARS OF JAPANESE FILMS by Donald Richie
		Donald Richie has been studying and writing about Japanese film since before many of today's movie reviewers, myself included, were even born.
		Richie arrived in Japan in 1946 as a civilian member of occupation forces after World War II, got a job as an arts writer at a newspaper and has been writing incisively about Japanese arts and culture ever since.
		In this volume, Richie begins by addressing the question of what distinguishes Japanese cinema --- how it is different from, influenced by, and influential on its Western counterpart.

		Richie does give some sense of how Japan has changed in the 50-odd years that he has lived there, but this perspective is constrained because Richie’s context rarely transcends his immediate surroundings.
		The personal glimpses of Richie as he defines life and love in a culture so different from the one he left are perhaps the most captivating aspect of the journals.
		Richie has had an extraordinarily rich life, but perhaps that is because he has taken time to pen his thoughts.

		Since I'd already lived in Tokyo for a few months, this text was like meeting a very smart friendly professor who had been to all the places I'd been meaning to go, and looked up the history, and compressed it all for me into lively chunks.
		Richie has lived in Tokyo for almost all of the last 50 years, and he acknowledged the world around as one of the foreigners most well-versed in this culture.

		The collection should not serve as a substitute for reading Richie's strongest works (on Ozu's film, for example) in their entirety, but for those who wish to go along for the half-century-long ride with the author, it is a satisfying sampler of the expatriate writer's scope and depth.
		Richie's curiosity about Japan has led him to the ordinary as well as the exotic, from rock and sand gardens, to TV commercials, to love hotels ("soaplands") and facial gestures.
		Donald Richie is an amateur and a dilettante (in the best sense of these words), a humanist and a romantic (as he calls himself, so contrary to the contemporary tide), and an aesthete (as I also think of him).

		Donald Richie in Asia goes even further in arguing that expatriation is not just an escape, "it is an embracing, a reaching out, a moving into as well as a moving away from." The pursuit of that embrace is what has made Richie modern Asia's most enduring and humane elegist.

	Midnight Eye book review: Japanese Cinema - An Introduction (Donald Richie); The Japanese Film - Art and Industry ...
		Still, as an overview it is pretty informative as it charts the early days from the arrival of the first imported films in 1897 to Japan's own ambitious first steps in the medium, all the way up until more recent works such as Mitsuo Yanagimachi's Fire Festival in the 80s.
		However, Richie's dominant focus on the early years, with little space devoted to post-60s developments won't appeal to everyone, mainly because it's so hard to see many of the films under discussion.
		Anderson and Richie's book is an invaluable resource, covering far more ground than any of the other books reviewed here and a whole host seminal works that have either been forgotten or lost all the way up to the New Wave and beyond.

		Richie seems to spend a lot of time attending the weddings of his former partners, watching their nuptials while he ponders his memory of other rites performed with them.

		One opens a book by Donald Richie with certain expectations -- namely, that it will be literate and original, the last word on the subject.
		Richie, without a trace of the pedagogic, conveys to us that the true nature of learning and knowledge can be as pleasurable as poetry, lovemaking or music.
		Richie, whose interests are in the process of Zen, maintains that it "must be traveled, experienced." Talking of Zen's attainments, he professes to "know nothing at all, having never experienced them."
