The aim of this study is to analyze Ozu Yasujiro' s films through Videotapes. It goes into details. Because Videotapes made it Possible. Now films are equal to books as a text. It is possible to gather so many informations from films through videotapes.We had many excursions for researchs. These excursions covered Hokkaido, Tokyo, Ibaraki, Chiba, Kanagawa, Nagano, Shizuoka, Aichi, Mie, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Nara, Okayama, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Shimane, Tottori, Kagawa, and New York.As a result, several articles are presented.These articles are most detailed in the history of Ozu Yasujiro' s films.They refered to "The Lady and the Beard (Shukujyo to Hige)"(1931), "The Only Son (Hitori Musuko)" (1936), "The Record of a Tenement Gentleman (Nagaya Shinshiroku)" (1947), "A Hen in the Wind (Ka z e no nakano Mendori)" (1948), "Early Summer (Bakushu)" (1951), "Tokyo Story (Tokyo Monogatari)" (1953), "Tokyo Twilight (Tokyo Boshoku)" (1957), "Good Morning (Ohayo)" (1959), "An Autumn Afternoon (Sanma no Aji)" (1962), and so on.We have some more plans to research further. We want to publish a geographical dictionary of Ozu Yasujiro' s films.One more important thing. In the history of Japanese movies, on January 12th in 1938, Ozu Yasujiro and Yamanaka Sadao met again in Kuyo, in the suburbs of Nanking. But it was not Kuyo. We found out that the place was Tozanchin(QM).Tozanchin is also located near Kuyo.
