[KineJapan] Film location for Ozu's 1959 version of 'Floating Weeds' ('Ukikusa') ...

[Dave Cooper]

/Dear KineJapan email list .../

Bruce Willoughby of CJS Publications has recommended that I put forward 
my following request ...

For a number of years now I have been trying to find out where the film 
locations were that Ozu used in the making of his film '/Floating 
Weeds/' (the colour 1959 version also called '/Ukikusa/'). I have 
contacted /Ozu-San.com/ ( http://www.a2pcinema.com/ozu-san/home.htm ), 
but they are unable to help me. Donald Richie is unable to help either, 
as you may know that he died this year.

Some images from the film showing locations in Japan can be seen here:

If you cannot help, perhaps you can provide me with a resource in Japan 
or a group that may be specialised in Japanese films and who may be able 
to help.

Many thanks ...
