I like this graphic because the screenshots themselves are very beautiful.

Yes there's a strand of Japanese cinema that's characterized by simplicity and eloquence. Ozu is one of the best and most well-known examples. He filmed low-key domestic dramas with a minimalist cinematography: static shots viewed from the level of the tatami (floor mat). A modern filmmaker who draws much inspiration from Ozu is Kore-eda.

I also recommend Kaneto Shindo's dramas, especially The Naked Island.

i've seen many movies where "nothing happened." often i get bored but once in a while something really grabs me

maybe you'd like once upon a time in anatolia or jeanne dielman. does last year in marienbad count? i'm sure there are others....

> simple, calming films

Try Jacques Tati perhaps

Not japanese but look into Eric Rohmer and Hong Sang-soo. More humor and romance involved, but they're literal talkies. Very unpretentiously and austerely filmed. More contemporary, I'd recommend Taiwanese New Wave: Hsou Hsia-Hsien, Tsai Ming-Liang, Edward Yang. Try maybe Hsien's Dust in the Wind, Liang's The Hole and Yang's The Terrorizers.
