This film celebrates the region of Tōhoku - "northeast" of Japan -, a little-known and superb territory that brings together the six northern prefectures of Honshu Island. Like Hokkaido, this mountainous area remains very rural and rather wild, subject to intense climatic variations throughout the year. Every winter, the "land of snow", a term used to describe a vast area along the coast of the Sea of Japan that includes part of Tōhoku, receives impressive amounts of snow. A handicap for the inhabitants, but an environmental benefit when spring comes, thanks to the abundance of meltwater that comes down from the relief in rice fields or salmon farms. In contrast, in the heart of the neighbouring and more temperate region of Kantō lies the immense eponymous plain, the largest in Japan. The most populous city in the world, Tokyo, has developed there: 38 million inhabitants live there, in the symbolic shadow of Japan's sacred mountain, Mount Fuji.
