Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　

　Today (November 14), a correspondent off party was held at a certain izakaya in Ginza and attended.

 

　At that table, it became a topic of the attending woman and Shima Iwashita, and I wrote a work called "Aki Hiyori" by Yasujiro Ozu, but when I examined it again, Shima Iwashita played the heroine It was "Taste of Sword Fish" (1962). Ozu's work does not have a special story for each work, so the title and content do not come out immediately.

 

 

"Taste of Swordfish" is a depiction of the relationship between the elder father who preceded his wife and the married daughter, along with the theme of "old" and "loneliness" of the father who married her daughter. Director Ozu died in 1963, the year after the announcement of this work, and this work became a masterpiece.

 

　Morinaga's spherical advertising tower appears only to show that the bars and small restaurants that appear exist in the Ginza area, but if so, I think we should take a closer look at the scenery of Ginza.

 

In "Autumn weather" (1960), Setsuko Hara and Shibako are heroines. Shima Iwashita has appeared in the role of a fool, but it seems that he was found in Ozu in this work and was selected as the heroine of "Taste of Sword Fish". The cut of Kiyosu Bridge comes out twice. It's a moment and a part, but I wanted you to include the whole view. Like Ginza in "Taste of Swordfish", isn't it Ozu's principle that does not clearly capture the geographical background of the scene? I'm wondering.

 

　Shima Iwashita in "Taste of Sword Fish" (1962) is also beautiful, but Mariko Okada, who appears in both works, is also young and charming.
