Showcasing a meditative exploration of untouched natural scenery. Without dialogue or traditional narrative, the 22-minute film presents a series of static, meticulously framed shots that capture the fleeting beauty of pristine landscapes. Created during a time of rapid industrial growth in Japan, the film serves as both a celebration of nature’s purity and a quiet protest against its encroachment by modernity. Shot on 16mm film, Nakamura embraced imperfections like grain and natural lighting to reflect the fragility and authenticity of his subject.
