Photos and film stills of the Japanese actress Setsuko Hara (1920-2015), who performed in, among many other films, Yasujirō Ozu's Late Spring and Tokyo Story. One of the biggest, the most memorable, and the most beautiful actress in Japan. She is called "Eternal Virgin" and her presence is now god like legend. Maybe because she suddenly and mysteriously quit her job without a notice in 1962; when she was still beautiful and in the stardom. And never showed up in the public eyes since then, and having a seclusion life in a temple located at Kamakura, which is an ancient city, for almost 40 years.
