That was him, Chishu Ryu.
Yes, so many beautiful places to visit in Japan.
Unfortunately, I am not currently studying Japanese.

That actor was probably Chishu Ryu–He’s Great, as far as I’m concerned. Kamakura is like Kyoto and Nara–Beautiful and FULL of Temples. I’m an Unofficial Henro… and I Love Visiting Ryouanji, Kiyomizudera, Ginkakuji, Kinkakuji, etc. whilst visiting Kyoto. Do You study Japanese? (and sorry for the long comment)

Back in Kyoto now, but maybe I can share more of those old photos with you sometime. Mari just moved a bunch of old albums here, but the furthest they go back is the 70′s.
Azim, yes, I remember seeing an actor take a trip to Ozu’s grave in the supplementary materials for Tokyo Story. I think I need to watch more of his films before I can justify such a pilgrimage. I’ve only seen the handful that are on the Criterion Collection.
And I would love to know enough Japanese to fully appreciate one of these Ozu DVD boxed sets.

Ozu Yasujiro Rocks. No opportunity to see more old photos? I love that kind of stuff. Since You’re in Tokyo, did You know that Ozu Yasujiro’s grave is just south of You in Kita Kamakura at Engakuji? Dunno if You’d be interested in visiting, but it’s a nice place…
