Chihiro Otsuka is a Japanese actress. Her birth name in kanji is 大塚 千弘, but she transformed her given name into hiragana characters.
In the form of a fiction, Naomi Kawase delivers a self-portrait which is also a re-crossing of her earlier films.

In its winding streets mingle the "Haré" of days of celebration and ceremony and the "Ké" of everyday life.
