シベリア豆の木 [TYS]

|Length : 24min. |Year : 1992

This program is a montage lyrically composed from the diary and works of Yasuo Kazuki, a Japanese painter who passed away after completing the "Siberian Series." Shortly after graduating from an institute of the arts, Kazuki was drafted into the army, and when the war ended, he was sent to a prison camp in Siberia. Later, he took home the seeds of San Juan which he had collected amidst intense cold and hunger. One grew in the garden of the Kazuki family into a big tree. Through this program, viewers can consider problems of human life through the wartime episodes described by Kazuki and shown in his works.
