Description
Tokyo: Shochiku Films, 1990. Draft script for the 1991 film, dated May 28, 1990, about a year before its release. A tale of three generations in a postwar Japanese family and their responses to the atomic bombing of Japan. When the film played at the Tokyo Film Festival, critics of Japanese militarism said Kurosawa had ignored the historical facts leading up to the bomb. Kurosawa's response was simple: he wanted his film to say that war was between governments, not people. Richard Gere plays one of the family's Asian-American cousins, a decision falling somewhere between stunt casting and commentary. Set in Nagasaki and shot on location there. Blue titled wrappers, dated 5.28.1990. Title page present. 166 leaves, with last page of text numbered 150. Mechanical duplication. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Near Fine. Rosenbaum 1000.

Near-fine.
Description
Springfield, Illinois: Illinois Department of Public Health, 1935. Near-fine.. Two (2) public health booklets on sexually transmitted infections (referred to here as venereal disease), covering Syphilis and Gonorrhea, published for the general public by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Describes what the infections are, what dangers they pose, and how individuals can avoid catching and spreading the infections. Interesting to see what advice has, and has not, remained recommended by medical professionals today. Warns against "quack" medicine remedies, and states that "Nearly all prostitutes have gonorrhea". Each booklet ends with a stark warning that knowingly exposing others to infection is illegal and could incur a fine. An excellent resource for investigating contemporary attitudes, and efforts to curb the spread of, sexually transmitted infections at the state level. The two booklets include: "The Truth About Gonorrhea". Springfield, Illinois: Illinois Department of Public Health, c.1935. Single vol. (5.75" by 3.5"), pp. 8, original self wrps. "The Truth About Syphilis". Springfield, Illinois: Illinois Department of Public Health, c.1935. Single vol. (5.75" by 3.5"), pp. 8, original self wrps. The Illinois Department of Public Health published free pamphlets on all aspects of public health ranging from sex education in the home to preventing the spread of infections and diseases.
