When I see a good film, it evokes something nostalgic or an image in my mind that I may have never seen before. So this is how I try to express my own feelings. I have always felt nostalgia to the shrine. The shrine exists from long ago, and we have lots of memories about a local festival. I made this film as a reminiscence of our nostalgic memories of that festival.
