Objectives

This movie is the third film of the 'True North, Akita.' series.

Akita prefecture is in the North-East Parts of Japan. Since it located far away from Tokyo, we can still meet the traditional way of living in Japan. Through this series, we try to record the traditional but daily life of the ordinal people in Japan and leave it to the posterity. And we hope the people who met this film go there by themselves.
