Dad bathing with young daughters...


I remember I used to watch this movie on VHS all the time, until my dad saw that there was a scene where the father is bathing with his young daughters. It really is weird, but is it normal in Japan? I could not imagine being exposed to a penis at that let alone your father's that is really weird, I'm sorry, but it still is a beautiful movie and soundtrack none the less.

It’s 2021 and I saw this film for the first time.

When I saw this scene, I knew it was controversial and would find threads talking about it.

The board didn’t disappoint.

Then the American film "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" probably weirded you out too. The nude scene with Holden and Kelley's characters along with their children in the public Japanese bathhouse was tastefully done. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046806/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl
