Synopsis for SHODO GIRLS
There is a rural town which lies in the area of the Japanese symbolical mountain Mount Fuji. It is there, where an American English teacher landed.
She got interested in Japanese culture, and in particularly Shodo. Because of these, she found a job in Japan. However, when she arrived in the town, she saw big buildings, which are almost the same as the ones in the U.S. What¹s more, the local students show no interest in Japanese cultures.
Japanese children can do exactly whatever they were told to do, but they lack the ability to form their own opinion. In Japan, there are beautiful traditional cultures such as Shodo and Sado, but at same time the country is also one of the biggest industrial countries which produce cars and cameras, etc. However, when the two aspects of the country fail to connect, what kind of country does that make of Japan.
The high school girls decided to participate The Demonstration Event.
The importance of calligraphy is ³to learn how to express oneself², which is also the most difficult skill that Japanese people are now facing. Through calligraphy, the students developed their friendship and learnt how to deal with relationships with others.
On the day of the calligraphy contest, 1000 people came to watch the contest. The girls expressed their all their feelings on a huge piece of paper through calligraphy.
Synopsis for THE WORLD¹S MOST BEAUTIFUL DICTIONARY/SUMMER BOOKMOBILE
One summer day, a boy who has never seen the ocean comes across a bookmobile operated by a young, aspiring picture book writer. The boy discovers a letter, tucked in a book, written by a girl who lives by the ocean. He decides to go and save the girl, but can¹t find the courage to go through the dark tunnel that leads to the ocean. This is the story of ³absurdity experience² and ³curiosity and fear for the a border violation² in one's childhood.
Synopsis for THE BILLION YEN JACKPOT
