Izu no musumetachi
Director of Photography
Kiyoshi, un joven oficial de clase acomodada, es enviado a la Península de Izu, cerca de Tokio. No hay lugar dónde vivir y el templo local permanece lleno de gente que ha debido alejarse de sus hogares como consecuencia de la guerra. Unos lugareños le indican a Kiyoshi que el dueño de un restaurante cercano y padre de dos hijas solteras tiene una habitación libre en su casa. Las relaciones entre los miembros de la familia no volverán a ser las mismas luego de la llegada del nuevo inquilino. Estrenada el 30 de agosto de 1945, apenas dos semanas después de la rendición nipona, Las jóvenes de Izu fue el primer estreno cinematográfico japonés luego del fin de la Segunda Guerra. Gosho había realizado apenas cuatro películas durante esos años y ninguna de ellas puede ser considerada artículo de propaganda.
