Cultural/Context information for the jury
Hitoyoshi-kuma is an area by 10 small cities located in Kyushu, Japan, and is a Japan's greatest hidden village.
There is the basin surrounded by tall mountains and was ruled by a feudal lord for 700 years. For those reasons, unique cultures were developed in this area. This is a place where God, Buddha and humans live together.
Tell the jury anything relevant about the direction. Do not name the director.

For people who living in this area, I wanted to make them realize "we didn’t know about the city much" and for tourists, I aimed it might be like a "silent shock."There are no decorative things like words or BGM in this film, I believe there are no needs to communicate with using it to feel their attracts.
