Sachiko Chiba

Sachiko Chiba (千葉早智子, Chiba Sachiko, February 16, 1911 - October 22, 1993) is a former Japanese actress and Mikio Naruse's ex-wife. She was the first film actress to be starred in PCL/Photo Chemical Laboratories (later Toho) movies. Her real name was Tsuruko Chiba (千葉鶴子,Chiba Tsuruko). 
==Biography: ==
Sachiko Chiba was born to an upper-class family as Tsuruko Chiba. She learnt to play koto and other musical instruments growing up and even travelled to the United States Of America to showcase her skills with the former instruments. Most directors treated her kindly, except Mikio Naruse, who at one point on the set of Tsuma Yo Bara No Yô Ni even made her cry. Women being what they are she ended up marrying the man who put her acting down less than two years later. Her mother asked Naruse to join her family as opposed to the other way around. Moreover, due to differences in classes and a clash between Chiba's mother and Naruse the differences continued and culminated in a divorce. Naruse, nonetheless, suggested they remarry if Chiba's mother dies. In the meanwhile, acquiescing to her mother's wishes she quit the acting profession and instead managed a high-end restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo called Kicchouso.
