Description:
The late Emperor is concerned about the young reigning Emperor, and the day has come for him to come back and destroy the castle and free his young successor. This work inter-prets the director’s perception of contemporary Japan: lack of creativity, an inability to establish oneself, and a surplus of pre-designed assumptions. Everything and everyone are converted to a flood of information and materialization.
“Behind the scenes, I attempt to express the image of Tokyo, where modern buildings are placed next to historical architec-ture. To me, it looks like a melting pot that has every cultural aspect of the world, and conveys the feeling that the tiny but lovely island of Japan is continuously polluted.”
