Taro Okamoto
Taro Okamoto (1911-1996), one of Japan's most famous artists, traveled to Okinawa in 1959 and 1966. The reason for this trip was his journey to rediscover Japan, in search of his identity as a Japanese person.
During his trip to Okinawa more than 60 years ago, Taro Okamoto captured the "poignant tenderness of life" of the people. Okamoto says, "Okinawa was like a kind of love for me," and he devoted his entire body and being to this subject. He concluded: "It is in Okinawa that we can find the lost.
In Okinawa, I rediscovered myself for the first time."
The documentary goes on a journey through Okinawa led by Okamoto Taro, 50 years after Okinawa's reversion to Japan. This is the "complete version" of the previous "Documentary Film: Taro Okamoto's Okinawa," newly interviewed, filmed, reconstructed, and re-edited.
Venue: 1F Hall
