If you didn't watch the entire video, I highly recommend it. What a beautiful style of story-telling; I was expecting a quick explanation of what kaketsugi is, but instead I got so much more. It was an inspiring look at the relationship between a mother and father, and between people and their clothes, and it was utterly heartwarming.
- an_ko 4y agoIf you or others wish for more of this type of optimistic slow mini-documentary, NHK's "Document 72 Hours" is a show which camera crew stay in 1 ordinary public place continuously for the titular 72 hours, at all hours of the day. They interview people they come across, and collect small and honest stories of people's lives. The show has been going for a long time, and they consistently manage to find heartwarming little stories in places you wouldn't expect to find them, with nothing but kindness and attention. One of my favourites so far was at a coin-operated hot ramen vending machine at the side of a road. The English narration is pretty cheesy, but I suppose it's part of the style.
