Japanese Movies

I know this is a long shot... but is there anyone who can recommend some NON-VIOLENT Japanese movies?

The last I saw was "Taiyo no Uta" (starring Yui), which was a great movie, despite the lack of katana's

What else do you recommend?

edit: oh, and no anime thanks.

'Ping Pong' is a good non-violent japanese film i enjoyed a lot.

yeah i thought about that one, but i'm usually not impressed by movies which are based on manga. it sounds good though so i might check it out despite it's origins.

it's mildly violent, and possibly Korean, but Old Boy is awesome

Oldboy is...

1) not Japanese, hence of no concern to this thread.

2) definately not 'mildly' violent. it involves gratuitous violence and incest.

one of you should start a "violent (or otherwise) oriental movies" thread if you like, but this particular thread has nothing to do with anything other than non-violent, non-anime JAPANESE movies thankyou!

either way; it's korean. go start a thread about korean movies if you like, but here isn't the place to post about it.
