マキノ省三墓地Makino Shozo is a legend in the history of Japanese film.
Born in 1878, he was a director, producer, and one of the major pioneers of Japanese cinema.
Makino was born in Kyoto and his mother ran a theater, which he often visited and absorbed from an early age.
He is remembered today for directing the 1928 epic "Jitsuroku Chushingura" (True Record of the Forty-seven Ronin).
Makino founded several film companies before dying in 1929.
His legacy is also thanks to his prodigy.
Two of his sons, Sadatsugu Matsuda (1906–2003) and Masahiro Makino (1908–1993), were well known film directors. Yet another son, Mitsuo Makino, was a film producer. Still another, Shinzo Makino, worked as a director.
He is buried at Tojiin Temple, just south of Ritsumeikan University.
