 Football Stadiums in Japan: Edogawa Athletic Stadium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Edogawa Stadium is not a particularly good football venue.
Its plan is identical to that of so many other multi-purpose stadiums in Japan, and this one has a particularly broad running track, putting fans so far from the action that you might as well be watching on TV.
Yet Edogawa stadium is conveniently located, on a main rail line in eastern Tokyo, and it has one particularly interesting claim to fame: the Brazil national team played a friendly match there (as the pictures below can prove), taking on Poland in a warm-up contest prior to World Cup 2002.

 Full Alert Film Review: Edogawa Rampo in Japanese Films   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Watcher in the Attic is the newest edition of Edogawa Rampo's story, directed by Akio Jissoji (Utamaro's Women and Tokyo: The Last Megapolis) -- the original 1976 Nikkatsu film was titled Stroller in the Attic (Yaneura-no Sanposha), directed by Noburo Tanaka.
There are many, many Edogawa Rampo-based films (and TV series) -- many of which are based on his famous detective, Kogoro Akechi (the same character from Black Lizard).
The film is based on several of Edogawa's short-stories, primarily "Panoramajima Kidan." Due to the controversial nature of the film, its video release has been delayed several times -- and continues to only pop-up on theatrical revivals -- due to its use of distrubing and eccentric images, which jumps from shocking horror to morose humor.

His high-contrast portrayals of Edogawa outlets also appear on calendars promoting the exclusive restaurants and teahouses as Gion, an old Kyoto neighborhood made famous by its geishas and discreet nightlife.
Karhu's exclusive relationship with Edogawa Corp. "is good for the Okomotos and is good for me," he says.

Edogawa was very interested in having his short stories translated into English.
Taking great pains, the translator would write a single sentence in English, and Edogawa would criticize it and not continue until it was corrected to his satisfaction.
While his most famous tale in English, “The Human Chair,” is not an outright horror tale, it has an interesting plot twist.

 Tenser, said the Tensor: Redundant Morphemes
The word edogawa (江戸川) is made up of edo, the old name of Tokyo, and gawa, the word for river (actually kawa, but phonology is, as always, in effect).
I wanted to use Google to find out how often edogawa is used in the phrase "edogawa river" as opposed to just "edogawa", but it turns out that there's also a city named Edogawa, so a bare occurrence of the word may refer either to the city or to the river.
For the major rivers in Tokyo, Edogawa always seems to be Edogawa River and Arakawa always seems to be Arakawa River, but Sumidagawa is usually Sumida River, and Tamagawa is ususally Tama River.

 Nation's Restaurant News: Edogawa's Okamoto modernizes old Kyoto - Edogawa COop., Yukihiko Okamoto
Prone to quarrel with management and commit so-agari, a wildcat walkout that can cripple a restaurant, Japanese chefs can be as temperamental as any of their counterparts in France, Okamoto says.
It all depends on rare ingredients and the appreciation of them by Kyoto's gourmets, most of whom are proud natives of Kyoto who tend to be less interested in foreign cuisines than are the people who live in the melting pot of Tokyo, he explains.
Still, while Yagenbori and the other Edogawa Corp. restaurants project many classic elements, the operations inject a more contemporary -- sometimes even slightly Western -- flair into their cuisines and decors.

Rich with the phantasy of the Orient, written with the quick tempo of the West, here in English translation for the first time are some of the best mystery shorts by Edogawa Rampo, Japan's foremost mystery author.
The original Japanese mystery writer to write in the fast-moving style of the modern Western mystery, Rampo, with his suspense-packed stories of weird and intriguing imagination, has enthralled Japanese mystery enthusiasts for over thirty years.
He started writing in the 1920s and adopted the pseudonym Edogawa Rampo, in honour of his major influence, Edgar Allan Poe (try saying it quickly with a Japanese accent), hence the title of this volume which is - as far as I know - the only volume of his work in English.
