 The few surviving fragments of films such as Ozu's I Graduated, But... ("Daigaku wa Detakeredo", 1929) are pretty much entirely down to the efforts of this man, who travelled the country scouring pawn shops and old theatres for films to add to his collection.In 1948, he officially took up his name as the second Matsuda Shunsui and in the same year he was awarded the top prize in the national Film Narrator's Competition.In 1952, he founded Matsuda Film Productions and appointed President of the Friends of Silent Films Association, both which are still being thriving under the guidance of his second son, Yutaka Matsuda.
