Looking for a short history on Japanese cinema

[Utopian]

Hi there, I was looking for a short history on Japanese cinema on the internet, but I couldn't find anything useful. Maybe you could help me get some information on this subject! I would be very grateful.
Thanking you in forward!

Donald Richie wrote a good book about the history of Japanese cinema recently. Er...actually I don't know if its good having never read it, but the reviews said it was really good. I don't know if you can find out about it on the net though, sorry.

OK, thanks a lot for replying! I think it will help me, there a lot to find about this author on the internet, and I can also buy the book via Amazon... I think I will do that! Thanks again!
