By Mark Schilling Japan Correspondent Japanese director Nobuhiko Obayashi died Friday in Tokyo of lung cancer. He was 82.

Born in Onomichi, a port on Japan’s Inland Sea, in 1938, Obayashi began making films as a child, using a projector and film owned by his physician father.

A pioneering experimental filmmaker in the 1960s, Obayashi went on direct nearly 3,000 TV commercials in a long career, many with international talent including Charles Bronson and Catherine Deneuve.
