The Sketch of Mujo

  • Mujo sobyo 無常素描
  • Director: Koichi OMIYA
  • Japan 2011, Blu-ray, 75 Min., Japanese with English subtitles

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.
