If you loved Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family, try The Munekata Sisters
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Yasujirō Ozu, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Munekata Sisters is
Ozu does Chekhov. Two sisters in postwar Japan, one unhappily married, find their lives quietly disrupted by the return of an old flame. A love triangle reshapes family bonds and unspoken desires linger beneath the surface. Ozu's gentle touch makes the emotional undercurrents all the more potent.
