A mountain village surrounded by tea fields. In this village, a man plants mulberry trees in the same way as in the old days, skillfully repairing old tools that were left at a corner of a museum, which now nobody knows how to use, and handles the entire traditional process by himself from raising silkworms to spinning, twisting, indigo-making, plant dyeing, and weaving. And what surprises us even more is that this man is a Canadian! His look and way of uses his hands when at work are calm and graceful. Even a spinning wheel that looks like a mechanical device makes us think about many things. A "must-see" film.(Isao Takahata)
