A documentary about the lives and the activities poetically layered in an old "Machiya" community in Japan
Machiya
Yame City, Fukuoka
Moving in from a big city, What can we see?
As a kid, I used to see no empty houses or abandoned buildings back then
Growing number of empty "Machiyas"...
We were not aware of the importance of handing on the gift from our fathers
The repair skills passed down from generation to generation
For the act of living
The careful gaze at the repair skills is overwhelming, like that of an enthusiastic disciple. Takashi Nakagawa Musician / Soul Flower Union
The future is in the past
