I've already made a print-out of this article and read it through with my notes on it. I should be able to type in my review notes over the next day or two.

Initiating review
(1) Lead section: "She worked on the stage and on television as well as film", to "She worked on stage and television as well as film."
(2) Lead section: "...but moved as her father, a priest, moved temples", to "but had multiple homes while growing up as she needed to relocate with her father who was a Buddhist priest between the different temples to which he was assigned," or something like this.
(3) Lead section: "In 1923, she auditioned...". Start a second paragraph in the end section for her film career and add in her name as "In 1923, Urabe auditioned...".
(4) Early life: Her medal is mentioned here though she won it very late in her life, which is mentioned below in the article. Give the citation being used here and the year of the award should be stated. Recommend that you might use a phrase like "Retrospective, when she received the Medal of Honor years later...".
(5) Movie career: This section could use a little bit more. The film Ikiru is also a must to add in this section with a brief description of her role in the film and if she received any awards for her acting in it. A separate paragraph on the Mizoguchi films she made would add a lot to this section, were there three or films with him? The Criterion Collection [1], I think, distinguished these films with a special box set, and it would be nice to again give a brief description of her role in each of her Mizoguchi films. Doing this would draw more attention from readers and you could also link this page from the Mizoguchi biography page as an added benefit to readers of this article.
(6) TV career: There is a "Death and legacy" part of this section which ought to be separated out into a separate section. There is only mention of her Medal of Honour here, though it seems she must have had numerous Awards and Prizes during her lifetime which are otherwise not covered in this article at all. An Awards section would be a very welcome new section for this biography article.
(7) Filmography: Even though this is a partial list, the list needs to include Ikiru, and each one of the Mizoguchi films. You might want to give some thought to also adding selectively the director's name to the more famous films in this list. She worked with some of Japan's most outstanding directors.
@ Simongraham: It may also be worthwhile checking on Interwiki for the Japanese version of this article which has an enhanced version of the list of her films which it also highlights for the Mizoguchi films among them which is useful, along with an enhanced TOC with lots of references not in the English version.

See if any of this can be brought into the article during the holidays or for the holidays. ErnestKrause ( talk) 00:56, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Closing Review Comments: Article is well written on a subject which is of much interest to Mizoguchi followers in film theory. Optionally, the "hollow star" format mentioned in the review above can be used to highlight the Mizoguchi films in the filmography here which Urabe did with him at your discretion. This is currently done on interwiki for the Japan version of her biography with good success. Also, double checking the "backlinks" to this article from the linked articles and films might help with the low daily page count for this biography article which might be helpful. For example, in Ikiru she plays the sister-in-law of the main character and it would nice to check if her name is linked from there to this biography article. Article is promoted.

Overall:
This fascinating article about a Japanese film star is a joy to read. I understand that you have 4 DYKs, which means you are exempt from doing a QPQ.
@ Simongraham: I have given this nomination a query status so that it is not promoted until I can maybe persuade you to offer the article's beautiful image for use at DYK, The image is free, and is clear when used as a thumbnail. The second version is a cropped version of the first, which is permissible at DYK (so you do not have to add the second version to the article if it is used at DYK).
