	Kon Ichikawa
		Using landscape as a metaphor for the isolation and suffering of the soul, Kon Ichikawa contrasts the chaotic, harsh realities of war with the tranquil expanse of nature: the mountain fortress attack; the discovery of a body leaning against a tree in the jungle; the mass burial of soldiers along the shoreline.
		Kon Ichikawa depicts a harrowing portrait of dehumanization and barbarism in Fires on the Plain.
		Ichikawa's recurrent fragmentation of images reflect the voyeuristic relationship between spectator and performer: obscured, extended fight scenes witnessed from rooftops, seamless visual transitions between theatrical dramatization and off-stage, real-life events, framing of actors through doorways or other visual occlusions that seem to underscore the intrusive, keyhole perspective of the audience.

	Kon Ichikawa
		Ichikawa's sceptical attitude to his country's traditions and institutions ties in with another recurrent theme of his work: his interest in the young, and in the gulfs between the generations.
		Ichikawa himself remarked that he “did not think the Golden Pavilion so great or beautiful a structure,” and argued that “the presence of this great structure does not secure the well-being of human beings around it, or make them happy” (5).
		In the hands of Ichikawa, such conservatism seems a little incongruous; his best films, despite the tighter restrictions on filmmakers at the period of their production, were willing to deal with most aspects of life, and are as unembarrassed by sex as they are unexcited by violence.

		Kon Ichikawa is considered one of the masters of the immediate postwar generation of Japanese filmmakers -- a generation often overshadowed by the titanic presence of Akira Kurosawa.
		Although Ichikawa shared the existential humanism of such postwar contemporaries as Keisuke Kinoshita and Akira Kurosawa, he rarely slouched into the sentimentalism that sometimes marred the work of his counterparts.
		In 1965, Ichikawa released Tokyo Olympiad, a gorgeous portrait of the human spirit.

	Film Comment: Glass houses - director Kon Ichikawa - Statistical Data Included (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In Ichikawa's apprenticeship period, starting with his now-lost debut, the unreleased puppet animation A Girl at Dojo Temple (45), and ending with his last film prior to The Heart, Ghost Story of Youth (55), there are a handful of remarkably good films, and the same holds true for the post--I Am a Cat period.
		Ichikawa's work forms a single entity that is full of life, intelligent and open-minded, yet riven with doubt, idiosyncrasy, and contradiction.
		Ichikawa's distinctly distant treatment forestalls that -- in this case not necessarily to the work's advantage, as it reduces the film to a simplistic War Is Bad statement.

	BBC - BBC Four Cinema - Kon Ichikawa Profile
		Many of Ichikawa's 75 films are adapted from classic Japanese novels and at 86 he continues to make movies.
		The cloud of Hiroshima barely lifted, Ichikawa's cinematic response was one of absurdism and chaos on a world gone mad.
		As in many of Ichikawa's films, the spirit of alienation is viewed as both a preferable and necessary reaction to the horrors of society.

	Profile of Japan Filmmaker Kon Ichikawa MFA Boston Film Series, 8/01
		Amazingly, Kon Ichikawa, the subject of an August retrospective screening series at the Boston MFA, is no longer generally regarded as a major force in his own native Japanese film community.
		Ichikawa is seen in Japan as being reluctant to throw in the directorial towel to allow younger filmmakers more attention.
		Ichikawa's most revered work is probably "Harp of Burma" (1956), a transcendent story of war's many victims.

	Fashion Victim: Jun Ichikawa's "Tony Takitani"
		It's not for lack of attempt on Ichikawa's part at overcoming the narrative's essential flimsiness and questionable ascribing of the more serious consequences of pathological behavior to female characters, always Murakami's Achilles' heel (but certainly an aspect that might not register as such without prior knowledge of his works).
		Ichikawa's inventive formal strategy -- his camera only moves left to right and his tracking shots are broken by invisible edits that mark breaks in narrative time -- is softly radical; so lulling that you'll hardly notice you're watching a rather rigorous aesthetic experiment.
		Jun Ichikawa's lonely "Tony Takitani" drifts across the screen in a scroll, enveloping you in an emotional and visual crawlspace of browns and grays.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| The work of Kon Ichikawa
		Ironic, perverse, sentimental and melodramatic as he could be, and quite capable of making commercial potboilers, Ichikawa shot at least half a dozen films in the 1950s and early 1960s that deserve the accolade of classics, and his brilliant craftsmanship alone had a huge influence on those who came after him.
		But Ichikawa's irony shines through the obvious sentiment of the British and Japanese soldiers singing Home Sweet Home together, since the soldier had only survived by stealing the robes of the monk who had rescued him.
		Ichikawa wanted to express the "poetic essence" of the subject, and no one has done it better in a film about sport.

	MoMA \| Press \| Releases \| 2001 \| KON ICHIKAWA
		Ichikawa, the last surviving member of the great quartet of Japanese directors, may be less known to Westerners than Akira Kurosawa, Kenji Mizoguchi, and Yasujiro Ozu, but his formal and thematic experiments are no less daring or influential.
		Ichikawa's probing camera reveals human nature as both poignantly fallible and vainly self-serving, and his film ends on an even more devastatingly comical note than the Tanizaki novel on which it was based.
		Ichikawa captures the novel's dry, haughty tone and its surface whimsy and underlying nastiness, pricking the pretensions and mannerisms of the Meiji nouveau riche with their puffed-up intellectual snobbery and faddish infatuation with Occidental culture.

	Full Alert Film Review: Jun Ichikawa
		Japan's leading director of TV commercials, with a slew of industry honors to his credit, Jun Ichikawa has, since his 1987 feature debut BU*SU, embarked on a parallel career as a maker of movies that recall, in their intimate scale, understated humanism, elegant compositions and deliberate pace, the work of Yasujiro Ozu.
		A long-time admirer of the director of Tokyo Monogatari and other masterpieces, Ichikawa underlined this comparison with Tokyo Kyodai, a 1995 film that was a conscious Ozu homage, right down to its simple but evocative title.
		While self-deprecatingly applying this label to himself, Ichikawa has long chafed under it -- one doesn't become the king of the CM in Japan by fading away into the woodwork.

	Midnight Eye review: An Actor's Revenge (1962, Kon ICHIKAWA)
		The story has it that Ichikawa was assigned this project by Daiei as a punishment for the studio's lack of satisfaction with his previous three productions, Conflagration (Enjo, 1958), Bonchi (1960) and The Outcast (Hakai, 1962).
		Sensibly Ichikawa, using a script adapted from the original by his wife and constant collaborator up until the mid-60s, Natto Wada (pen name for Yumiko Ichikawa), doesn't even try.
		It is the painterly way in which Ichikawa handles the dimensions of the widescreen Cinemascope format that will no doubt form the most lingering impression on most viewers.

		Fittingly, Kon Ichikawa, Cinematheque Ontario's new monograph on the director (edited by James Quandt), is as fascinating not only for its revelations on the director himself but also the cultural climate in which they existed--it shows how Ichikawa imposed himself on various sources and how they imprinted on him in return.
		There are also plenty of interviews and essays about and by Ichikawa himself, and he proves to be genial and self-deprecating.
		Kon Ichikawa begins with an interview on the director's early life, and QandAs pepper the book, culminating in a recent "mid-career" conversation that covers filmmaking practice, the vagaries of studio casting, the menace of "Shibuya girls," and how much Ichikawa likes David Fincher's Seven.
