･NHK ･24 min. ･M/E & English Version |
Every morning people gather in a park in Musashino, a Tokyo suburb, for a day flying hand-made paper airplanes. As they watch their planes soar overhead, some of the older enthusiasts look back on the hard-work of the past; others think of friends killed in World War 2. For a few there are practical advantages to paper airplanes: one handicapped man found a job through a friend he made here. For all who come here, paper airplanes are the stuff of dreams and aspirations. |
