Season 4 Episode 20 - Midsummer Grave Visit Dialogue with Foreigners
Yanaka Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Tokyo. During the Obon vacations, many people visit the cemetery, making the quiet downtown area a different scene from usual. Each person has his or her own style of mourning for the departed. Some people finally took time out of their busy schedule to lay their hands on a grave. An old man who never stops drinking water while talking to his companion's grave. A person who sits at the grave of a loved one and reminisces. The camera is set on three days at the grave, a space where life and death mysteriously interact, and captures the “life” of both the deceased and those who live in the present.
