Directed by Kinuyo Tanaka. Starring Chishu Ryu, Hisako Yamane.

The most successful of Tanaka's six directorial efforts (and apparently, based on forays into Tanaka chat rooms, a film still cherished by her diehard fans). Made in collaboration with Yasujiro Ozu, who composed the script, the film is a gentle domestic comedy about a widowed mother and her two daughters. Tanaka appears in a bit part as the family's maid.
