Draft script for the 1960 Japanese film. Manuscript ink and stamp on the outer page edges. Production designer's script, with manuscript underlining on numerous pages regarding objects needed for a given scene (swimsuits, sun cream, summer kimonos, Persian cat, etc.) Other annotations, in the same hand, fill in the names of actors who have been chosen to play the parts of various characters (whose names are printed). The double directed feature intentionally creates a juxtaposition between each director's lens, and the credits give no indication of how the two collaborated, also intentional. According to Audie Bock, author of "Japanese Film Directors," Naruse filmed all of the older generation scenes and the Japanese restaurant scenes, while Kawashima did the younger generation and the geisha house scenes, comparatively the 'comic relief'.

White titled wrappers, noted as 1 on the front wrapper, dated 1960. Title page present. 88 leaves, with last page of text numbered g-25. Mechanical duplication. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus, bound with two staples wrapped in paper on spine.…
