Dusseldorf Film Festival Eyes on Japan

EKŌ-Haus der Japanischen Kultur, Dusseldorf

Film The line that defines me, directed by Koizumi Norii, which has been presented as the culmination of the 18th Dusseldorf Film Days, Eyes on Japan.

Thanks to the great cooperation with my Master Tohun Kobayashi it was possible to see the original works of Camellia and Orchid depicted in the film. The audience has also had opportunity to touch the big brush used in the film to trace and define their own lines.

First, I made a presentation on the principles of sumi-e, introducing the audience to the world of sumi-e. After the film, I made a second presentation on the coulisses of the film and shearing all the answers to my questions that my Master sent me.
