Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project titled “The Aesthetics of Mobility and Lightness: Early Films of Ozu Yasujiro and the Discourse on Cinema in Interwar-period Japan” attempted to examine the development of Ozu Yasujiro’s film aesthetics in the early period in terms of the influence of Hollywood cinema (the first year) and to situate Ozu’s early practice within the contemporary discourse on film aesthetics (the second year). In the first year, I published a paper in which to trace the developmental process of Ozu’s idiosyncratic shot/ reverse shot and presented a paper about the transformation of Ozu’s films in the mid-1930s when he was conscious of making talkies in an international conference. In the second year, I presented a paper in which I related Ozu’s mid-1930s practices with the contemporary discourse on cinema (about talkies) in a conference in Japan and further prepared the ground in which I could publish and present papers in foreign languages.
