Ogawa, Shisuke; Peng, Xiaolian (directors) Year Published: 2001 ISBN: 97863146321113 Resource Type: Film/Video
Original Japanese Title: Manzan benigaki. The ostensible subject of this remarkably beautiful film is the growing, drying, peeling and packaging of persimmons in the tiny Japanese village of Kaminoyama. The inhabitants explain that it is the perfect combination of earth, wind and rain that makes their village's persimmons superior to those grown anywhere else, including the village just a few miles away.
