"Ozu Yasujiro: Tokyo Story" is a book featuring Japanese film director Yasujiro Ozu (1903-1963). Ozu is known for his domestically-set works, such as "Late Spring" and "Autumn Barley," but his 1953 release, "Tokyo Story," is considered his pinnacle and a masterpiece that has left its mark on world cinema history. This book sheds light on this film, examining from multiple angles the Tokyo landscapes of the time of filming, the expressions of the cast, and cinematic composition. Through a wealth of still photographs and documents spanning 326 pages, it explores how this story of the relationship between an elderly couple and their children was shaped within the city and the era, while also interpreting Ozu's unique aesthetic of low perspective and meticulous framing. It also includes a wealth of texts on film criticism and visual studies, making this a book that allows readers to rediscover the universal appeal of Ozu's films and rediscover the memories of the city of Tokyo through the film itself.
