The CSToys Blog was just contacted by the author of a new book, titled "Mushroom Clouds and Mushroom Men: The Fantastic Cinema of Ishiro Honda". It hits the shelves for the first time in America and tells the story of the Japanese revolutionary director, Ishiro Honda. The book details his life and inspirations bringing you an inside look at this pioneer. For those not familiar with Ishiro Honda, this forefront director took on the task of directing Japanese classics such as Rodan, Mothra, Attack of the Mushroom People and the utterly famous Godzilla. He essentially is one of the fathers who developed today's tokusatsu.
I suppose our increased amount of Godzilla articles is making us more recognized. So thank you Mr. Yellow and Wheelchair21 for your contributions. Thanks also goes to the author, Peter H. Brothers, for giving us this tip off and for writing a fantastic new book for us here in North America. For Godzilla, Mothra and Ishiro Honda fans out there this is a must read. Bookstore link below, it is also available on amazon.com.
