Late Spring (English Wikipedia)

Although there has been some dispute over the identity of the Noh play shown in the film, a French translation of Ozu and Noda's original script explicitly identifies the play as Kakitsubata, "nom d'une fleur" ("the name of a flower"). See Ozu and Noda, La fin du printemps, translated by Takenori Noumi [no date], p. 23, downloadable at http://www.01.246.ne.jp/~tnoumi/noumi1/books/lafinduprin.pdf.
