Koichi OMIYA
無常素描
The Sketch Of Mujo
Nippon Visions ½
Mujo is a Buddhist concept meaning transience and impermanence and a way to alleviate the pain and sadness of catastrophes. Although this includes forgetting as a self-protection, it means there is place for reconstruction. OMIYA sketches a glimpse of this moment in this first documentary after the disaster of 3-11 before it will be forgotten.
