A short (12') film I made in 2006 after a 3.30 am visit to the Tsukiji tuna auction - such access would be impossible now. (The whole thing is pretty amazing, but the auction at the end is absolutely mesmerizing) https://vimeo.com/8982166 https://vimeo.com/8982166
- allenguo 11y agoThis is fascinating. What's the auction man at the end saying?
- huac 11y agoit looks like he's asking how many people are still in at a certain price point (though my japanese is terrible) fantastic video btw.
- jpatokal 11y agoMy Japanese is fairly fluent, but the guy around 08:00 is pretty much totally incomprehensible... The later dude at 10:00 seems to be announcing lot numbers ("16-ban"), doing the auction in ten-thousands ("75" for 75,000 yen?) and then announcing the winner ("Ebisuuuuu!") before going to the next.
