Abstract: In 1971, author and film scholar Donald Richie published a poetic travelogue about his explorations of the islands of Japan's Inland Sea, recording his search for traces of a traditional way of life as well as his own journey of self-discovery. Twenty years later, filmmaker Lucille Carra undertook a parallel trip inspired by Richie₂s by-then-classic book, capturing images of hushed beauty and meeting people who still carried on the fading customs that Richie had observed.
