Portrait of Chieko is a 1967 film from Japan directed by Noboru Nakamura.The story, which takes place over 27 years, recounts the life of Kōtarō Takamura and his wife Chieko. It opens in 1911 with Kotaro a young artist and poet, well-known in the artistic community but not particularly successful. Mutual friends introduce Kotaro to Chieko Naganuma, daughter of a brewer, and herself an artist of some talent. They hit it off, and soon they are married.Years pass, and while the Takamuras are never able to have children, theirs remains a happy marriage. Eventually Kotaro establishes himself as a prosperous artist. However, Chieko's artistic career never quite takes off. Much worse, she starts behaving erratically and showing signs of mental illness. Eventually, she is diagnosed with schizophrenia. | |

Incurable Cough of Death | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_19da8a03 | comment |
Incurable Cough of Death: Played with. Kotaro and Chieko pay a visit to her parents. Her father is coughing heavily. It seems like a sure signal that he's got a fatal illness—and then he dies in a fire. | |

Distant Finale | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: The brief epilogue is undated, but shows Kotaro obviously much older, with white hair and a beard. He is carving a bust of his late wife. | |

Starving Artist | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_3a6a7b0a | comment |
Starving Artist: For a time Kotaro really struggles to make money. At one point his father buys one of his sculptures, plainly because he wants Kotaro and Chieko to have something to eat. | |

Piggyback Cute | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_4b153125 | comment |
Piggyback Cute: Played for Drama. Kotaro gives Chieko a piggyback ride from the beach, but it's because she's had another schizophrenic episode and is unable to walk. | |

Time Skip | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_5fcb9ad1 | comment |
Time Skip: There are time skips from 1911 (Kotaro and Chieko meet and fall in love) to 1915 (young married couple) to 1932 (Kotaro a success, but Chieko slips into schizophrenia) to 1938 (Chieko dies) and the undated but clearly Distant Finale (Kotaro sculpting a bust of Chieko). | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Chieko starts acting increasingly erratically. She starts having hallucinations. She gets the idea that her husband is a horse and demands to ride him. She tries to kill herself with an overdose of drugs. She picks up a neighbor's baby, and then attempts to run away with the baby, on a crowded street in broad daylight. Eventually she's diagnosed with schizophrenia. What's worse is that, as her doctor notes, she's aware of it. At one point she tells Kotaro she's going insane and doesn't have much time left. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: A young man in an art gallery slices up a painting that Kotaro and Chieko are looking at, then leaps out a third-floor window to his death. No further motivation is given. | |

Geisha | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_9f5df7a6 | comment |
Geisha: The first scene, before Kotaro meets Chieko, has him in a bar in the company of a geisha harmed Osato. She seems to be an old-school geisha of the companionship and conversation nature, not a sex worker. | |

Cherry Blossoms | |
| Portrait of Chieko / int_fca96b8e | comment |
Cherry Blossoms: Shots of cherry blossoms in full bloom, strongly associated with Japan, also suggest the passage of time, and in this case introduces a four-year Time Skip to 1915. | |
