A look at the unrecognized work of the talented artists and craftsmen who've maintained the tradition of Japanese special-effects. Highlighted is Yasuyuki Inoue along with various crew members who crafted meticulously detailed miniatures and risked life and limb as suit actors. All done to bring to life some of film's most iconic monsters through a distinct Japanese artform.
Yasuyuki Inoue (Inoue Yasuyuki, November 26, 1922 - February 19, 2012), also known as Taiko Inoue (Inoue Taikō), was a Japanese special effects art director. He worked on many of Toho's Tokusatsu films from the 1950's to the 1980's, starting out as an assistant special effects art director for "Godzilla" (1954).
