Program Note
In the summer of 1980, the Japanese islands were swept by cold air blown from the Pacific, hitting the village of Furuyashikimura beneath the mountains, When cold air blows down from the mountains, the village gets cold rapidly, destroying the rice crops. The camera crew of Ogawa Shinsuke joined forces with local Hanaya Yoshio to remedy the havoc wreaked by this natural disaster. Two years in the making, this film is another labor of love from the great Japanese social documentarist, Ogawa Shinsuke.
