Synopsis
One day is all Japanese author Kenzaburo Oe can spare for an interview, prompting filmmaker Steven Okazaki to shift focus to Tokyo's emerging artists.
Synopsis
Kenzaburo Oe critiques the new generation of Japanese artists during a brief interview in October 1987. He describes them as 'spoiled, un-original, and too influenced by Western culture.' With only one day for Oe, filmmaker Steven Okazaki redirects his focus to Tokyo's streets. Over four days, he documents the lives and challenges of emerging artists, capturing the cultural dynamics shaping contemporary Japan. The 30-minute film reflects on the tensions between tradition and modernity in the art scene.
