My Take
Baisho has acted for decades and is still working. Abroad, her name travels mainly through Shohei Imamura's films, which strip people down to what sits under the manners, and she stands in that light without flinching. A Japan Academy best actress prize, two Blue Ribbons for supporting roles, the Kinuyo Tanaka Award. Lead or margin, same intensity.
