Japanese movies

I love old Japanese movies, especially those made by Ozu, Mizoguchi and, of course, Kurosawa. The 1950's was the golden era for Japanese film-making. One of the great movies of that decade was Ugetsu, directed by Mizoguchi Kenji. It's a ghost story and one of the most moving films I've ever seen. There's a scene (see pic) where a woman is rowing a boat through the fog. It was probably shot on a studio set. Still, the cinematography is breathtaking. Pure art. I have a number of old Japanese films on VHS, including a few that are no longer available. I've thought about transferring them to DVD, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
