⟨impressions⟩

I feel like watching a "good" movie after a long time.

It's the first tea movie ever. I feel like I feel a little lighter and clearer.

The film seemed to teach me the meaning of living in nature (including myself). Westerners may not know. Because they try to change nature in a way that is convenient for humans. Even so, it was probably at least 500 years ago that it changed. 300 years later, Japan began to think in the same way.

From a certain point, human beings have been living in nature by processing nature. Perhaps otherwise, humans would not have survived. But after that, nature destruction begins. The point is when human economic activity has failed to cycle and has begun to dump waste into nature, breaking the natural cycle. Since that time, humans have stopped when they feel nature and when they feel themselves.

I used to learn tea in the past, but I didn't get the feeling of this movie. However, I felt tea calmed down by drinking tea in a predetermined shape and movement. That feeling may remain somewhere in me now if I think.

Let's read the original. There is also an English translation version.

真面目で、理屈っぽくて、おっちょこちょい。そんな典子(黒木華)は、いとこの美智子(多部未華子)とともに「タダモノじゃない」と噂の武田先生(樹木希林)のもとで“お茶"を習う事になった。細い路地の先にある瓦屋根の一軒家。武田先生は挨拶も程々に稽古をはじめるが、意味も理由もわからない所作にただ戸惑うふたり。「お茶はまず『形』から。先に『形』を作っておいて、後から『心』が入るものなの。」と武田先生は言うが――。青春の機敏、就職の挫折、そして大切な人との別れ。人生の居場所が見つからない典子だが、毎週お茶に通い続けることで、何かが変わっていった……。
