One of the most beautiful actresses, and not only of the japanese cinema.
Her roles in Yasujiro Ozu films are amazing

I just watched Kurosawa’s “The Idiot”. I’m glad it’s the first film I ever saw with her, because it really shows her range-she plays a character of great depth and complexity (not just an “ideal woman” or “eternal virgin”).

I only recently became aware of her by watching Tokyo Story and Late Spring. I really liked her characters in each of those movies and thought she was quite beautiful!!
