EDITORS COMMENTS
Minato-Gawa, also known as Theatre Street, in Kobe, Japan, circa 1921, is a vibrant and bustling scene of activity. The streets are lined with shops and signs, each one beckoning passersby with promises of goods and services. Amidst the hustle and bustle, the Kwansai-Ichi Asahikwan Cinema stands proudly, its marquee announcing the screening of "The Diamond Queen" starring the iconic American actress Eileen Sedgwick. The rain-soaked streets add to the sense of excitement and anticipation, as people don their raincoats and hats, eager to escape the elements and immerse themselves in the magic of the movies. The cinema, a symbol of Western influence in Japan during the 1920s, represents the growing popularity of film culture in the country. The posters outside the cinema, featuring Sedgwick in her iconic raincoat and hat, serve as a reminder of the enduring power of cinema to transport us to another world, no matter the weather outside.
