[Features of this book]
◆The first content to focus solely on the theme of "film" from among the vast amount of work!
Makoto Wada has worked on a wide range of projects over the course of approximately 60 years, but this book focuses on the theme of "film" and introduces his work in detail from five angles: "Knowing, Drawing, Talking, Collecting, and Filming."

◆A wide selection of film posters and film books he has designed!
This book contains, in full color, posters ranging from the "Nikkatsu Masterpiece Theater" posters he created in his younger days to posters for theatrical releases and film festivals, as well as a number of film books whose covers he designed make use of illustrations of actors and directors.

◆Returning attention to film director Wada Makoto!
This book focuses on Makoto Wada as a film director who has released excellent feature-length works such as "Mahjong Wandering" and was loved by his staff despite being a director from a different industry. It includes many valuable materials such as hand-drawn storyboards and scripts used. It also includes an essay by Takashi Hasegawa, who wrote the script with Makoto Wada.

◆A collection of film films and posters formerly owned by Makoto Wada is on display!
