KOKIRIKO -The Ancient Japanese Folk Song-

The people living in Japan’s Gokayama region continue to lead traditional lives amidst rich nature.
One of the traditions passed down in this region is "Kokiriko," said to be Japan's oldest folk song.
"Kokiriko" is believed to have originated from a ritual to pray for a bountiful harvest, and its song and dance express gratitude and prayers for the cycle of life that brings forth crops.
In the video, Mr. Iwasaki of the Kokiriko Preservation Society says that by visiting Gokayama, one can feel the breath of life.

All of this Unreal Time

A man – any man, everyman – walks alone through night and the city. From subway to pavement to wide open marshland, he confesses his failings: emotional, physical, political. To whom, and for what?
Ashamed and alarmed, he considers both the smallness of human life and the scale of the world, and ultimately our most pressing obligation: to care for those alongside us, and for the earth that sustains us.
