Life and career
[edit]She made her acting debut in 1951 in Noboru Nakamura's film Home Sweet Home.
In the 1950s, David Lean proposed her for the main role in The Wind Cannot Read, which is about a Japanese language instructor in India circa 1943 who falls in love with a British officer, but that idea fell through and Yoko Tani was eventually cast in the role.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
