Biography


Sugimura was born in Nishi-ku, Hiroshima.[2] After the death of her parents, she was adopted at an early age by affluent lumber dealers, only learning much later that they were not her biological parents.[3][4] (Sugimura reputedly claimed that she was the illegitimate child of a geisha.)[3] Her adoptive parents took her to performances of both classical Japanese stage arts like kabuki and bunraku, and western ballet and opera. They also encouraged her to enroll at the Tokyo Ongaku Gakko (now Tokyo University of the Arts), where she failed the exams.[4] She then joined the Tsukiji Shōgekijō (Tsukiji Little Theatre), Tokyo, in 1927, and later the Bungakuza theatre company, which she remained affiliated with from 1937 until her retirement in 1996.[5][6][7]

She gave her film debut in 1932 in Eizo Tanaka's Namiko (1932).[lower-alpha 1] Between 1937 and the end of the war, she acted in about 20 films, including works by directors Yasujirō Shimazu and Shirō Toyoda.[9] Notable post-war film appearances were in Keisuke Kinoshita's Morning for the Osone Family (1946) and in Ozu's Late Spring (1949).[4] Her most important film roles included that of Shige, the elderly couple's hairdresser daughter in Ozu's Tokyo Story (1953),[4][10] Naruse's Late Chrysanthemums (1954),[10] and Tadashi Imai's An Inlet of Muddy Water (1953).[11] For her film performances, she received the Blue Ribbon Award, the Kinema Junpo Award and the Mainichi Film Award.

On stage, she was successful as Blanche Dubois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Gertrude in Hamlet and Asako Kageyama in Yukio Mishima's Rokumeikan.[4] Her most popular and often repeated stage role was Kei Nunobiki in Kaoru Morimoto's A Woman's Life,[7] for which she received numerous awards, including the Japan Art Academy Prize and the Asahi Prize.[12] In 1992, she was awarded the honorary citizenship of the city of Tokyo.[5] In 1995, she refused the Order of Culture award.[4] The same year saw the release of her last film, Kaneto Shindō's A Last Note.[9]
