Thou I'm very interested in japanese cinema, I've never heard about those movies. So I'm glad to learn that. It's impressive to see that a movie character is popular enough to have his own statue and a memorial!
Me again: the building behind the flag is a very famous hotel called the "Negresco". One of the most luxurious of my town , and maybe in France!..
Cool !

My knowledge of Japanese cinema is limited to Ozu and Kurosawa (and a few Godzilla movies). I'd like to know something more of Tora-san!
I wonder what kind of series it was he played in. Maybe comedy?
