About Book

Servant of the house

This book contains precious words of Yasujiro Ozu, which are strung together to form the film master's life of light and shadow, revealing the creation secrets of immortal films such as "Tokyo Story" and "The Taste of Tea over Rice", and personally tells the origin of the Ozu style such as the beauty of mono no aware, as well as Ozu's life stories that are rarely mentioned.
Throughout his life, Yasujiro Ozu adhered to the credo that "the success of a film is determined by its aftertaste," remaining grounded in his own "tofu shop"—a profound reflection on life through the lens of his camera, rediscovering the inherent richness of human love and warmth, and expressing this warmth through his images. This newly revised edition includes "Tateshina Diary" and "Nursing Diary: That Old Man Is Gone," written by Ozu's trusted actor, Keiji Sada. It also features numerous rare photos of Yasujiro Ozu's life, revealing the director's life story from diverse perspectives.
Everyone who loves life and movies will be moved by Ozu. The emotions flowing in his films are both profound and strong because they reflect the things we care about: parents and children, marriage and living alone, life and death, and caring for each other.
