矢吹町

Mitsuaki Saito

France/33min./2012

Fukushima: is the geographic place, and symbolic point. It is not only a place of fame since the nuclear catastrophe. This is also where I return to the point that separate the before and after, the childhood and the adult, the past and the future. The return voyage that Fukushima is the city that my father left, and that this is also the city that I returned to. The serenity of the agriculture farmers reminds me that there is continuation of life and activity, nonetheless. The Buddhist ritual who accompany my father on his last voyage whose death is not the end but reincarnation.
