Ozu is not the only filmmaker with intermediary 'vase shots' or 'pillow shots.' Doris Wishman was a champion of the object-without-a-plot-function shot.
an authorial signature of Doris Wishman is the 'shoe shot' which is related to an exploitation mode of production - filling time and avoid sync sound during dialogue.
and #DorisWishman also had a keen eye for lurid glamour, colour and print clashes, and gaudy mise en scene especially in her colour period.
