An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Frank Tokunaga was a Japanese-born actor and director from the 1910s to the 1960s. He is forgotten today, except by major film buffs, but he was one of the earliest Japanese actors in U.S. movies in the 1910s. He appeared in a number of U.S. movies until 1920, when he returned to Japan, and became a director and actor there. He returned to the U.S. at some point after World War II, making a few cameo appearances in U.S. movies. He passed away in California in 1967 at the age of 78. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Frank Tokunaga (he signed his name in both English and Japanese)! Also note that this still measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
