Taishō Katsuei

Taishō Katsuei (大正活映) was a Japanese

Foreigner's Cemetery (a memorial tablet currently marks the site).[4] Taikatsu did not last long, since it did not have enough theaters to recoup the costs of production and of importing American films. Its production division was taken over by Shōchiku in 1922, even though the company lasted a few more years as an exhibition business.[5] A number of important film figures emerged from Taikatsu, including the directors Tomu Uchida and Buntarō Futagawa and the actors Tokihiko Okada, Ureo Egawa and Atsushi Watanabe.[citation needed] Otohiko Matsukata, who served as a director, later became the president of Nikkatsu.[6]
