Scenes taken from a low position, such as 'the family gathering around the table' or 'father worried about his unmarried daughter losing her chance of marrying' and 'father thinking about his daughter' were typical scenes from domestic life dramas on Japanese TV that were perfected by Ozu.
このローポジションで撮った「ちゃぶ台を囲む家族たち」のシーン、あるいは「婚期を逃しかけている娘を心配する父親」「父を思いやる娘」など、日本のテレビにおける「ホームドラマ」の型を完成させた監督でもある。
