Beautiful Hiroshi Shimizu wartime effort, with the great

Beautiful Hiroshi Shimizu wartime effort, with the great Chishu Ryu as a soldier on leave at a health spa, recovering from an accidental foot injury and exploring the true meaning of love and poetry through an infatuation with a depressed geisha. The war never touches this idyllic slice of countryside, and Shimizu was criticized for making a light romance in a time of desperately needed propaganda and enthusiasm, but be that as it may, audiences went.

Yeah, that's right. I watched a film called Ornamental Hairpin. This makes me much more of a man than YOU. I'm willing to admit to watching a film about a guy who steps on a hairpin in a pool and has a 'poetic impression' of the girl whose hairpin it might very well be. She better be hot! I don't want no Nottie. No sir.

A soldier staying at an inn during the summer injures his foot on a kanzashi, and is unable to go back with his troop. When the woman who lost it comes back to the inn to apologize to the soldier, and also decides to stay to help him rehabilitate. What sounds so simple is just filled with amazing little quirks that Shimizu loves to employ. Besides the main characters, the 2 kids with their snoring grandfather, the married couple with the inept husband, the professor who is cranky all become like a small family throughout. There's comedy, drama, tragedy, and it really is one of the best Japanese films I've ever seen. If only Shimizu's other films get the recognition they deserve too....
