{{Nihongo|Uraji Yamakawa|山川 浦路|Yamakawa Uraji|November 15, 1885 — November 30, 1947}} was a Japanese actress, also credited as Ura Mita.

Career

In 1912, she and her actor husband were co-founders of the Modern Theatre Society (Kindaigeki Kyokai) in Tokyo, formed to bring new Western works to Japanese audiences.[1][2] In 1914, Yamakawa was considered one of "the foremost interpreters of roles in Western translations" among Japanese actresses.[3][4] Among her notable roles were Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler,[5] Gretchen in Goethe's Faust,[3] and Lady Macbeth, in which role she gave "a most remarkably untraditional sleep-walking scene".[6] The Modern Theatre Society ended in 1919, when the founders moved to the United States.[1][7]

She had small roles in two films during her time in America: The Devil Dancer (1927, now lost; a silent film directed by Fred Niblo) and Wu Li Chang (1930, a Spanish-language production).[8]

Personal life

Uraji Yamakawa was married to fellow Japanese actor Sōjin Kamiyama; they lived in California while Sōjin was appearing in American films.[9] After they separated, Yamakawa took bit parts, sold makeup, and cared for her adult son, Edward, who had tuberculosis. During this period, she was friends with novelist Toshiko Tamura.[10] Yamakawa died in 1947, aged 62 years.
