Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

“JAPAN HERITAGE HITOYOSHI-KUMA” is a documentary film introducing Hitoyoshi-Kuma.

The film is drawing the living activity of the city including their traditional crafts, cultural heritage and natures in "One day" from morning till night.

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.

The film is drawing the living activity of the city including their traditional crafts, cultural heritage and natures in "One day" from morning till night.

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.
