It was cloudless then.
A train came across the mountains.
Passed by many windows, many people, and their respective gains and losses.
Meager gains are always separate, and one person gets some warmth that belongs to him nearby.
Loss is eternal, total.
The coldness of this world is too great.
Father and mother packed up and headed to Tokyo.
The low Japanese-style residence is surprisingly high because of the upward shot of the camera.
I thought, what should my room be like?
Parents describe each other as caring, and there is a sparse answer.
At the hot spring hotel in Atami, the children were not accompanied by their side after all.
There is only this ocean, and each other around.
After sitting for a long time, my mother wanted to get up, but she couldn't stand up for a while.

I think, how do I understand "Winter Light"?
One day I went to a friend's cabin to listen to the Goldberg Variations.
It was a small bungalow, and the room and windows were strangely high, so the figure was very low, and even lower when listening to Gould's Bach.

Parents describe each other as caring, and there is a sparse answer.

Tokyo Story quotes

  • Shukichi Hirayama: I'm surprised how children change. Shige used to be much nicer before. A married daughter is like a stranger.

    Tomi Hirayama: Koichi has changed too. He used to be such a nice boy.

    Shukichi Hirayama: Children don't live up to their parents' expectations. Let's just be happy that they're better than most.

    Tomi Hirayama: They're certainly better than average. We're fortunate.

    Shukichi Hirayama: I think so. We should consider ourselves lucky.

    Tomi Hirayama: Yes, we are very lucky.

  • Shige Kaneko: [at dinner table following Tomi's funeral] Kyoko, did mother still have her summer sash? I'd like it for a keepsake. Is that alright with you? And that linen kimono she used to wear in summer? I want that too. You know where it is? Can you get it out?
