Through the life of an old Buddhist priestess and her young heiress in rural Japan, a US-based filmmaker couple searches for the meaning of freedom and happiness.
Written, filmed, edited, and produced by Japan natives Reiko Tahara and Max Uesugi, this documentary film tells the fascinating story of Teijun Ogawa, a female Buddhist priest (niso), a rarity in the male-dominated Japanese Shingon Buddhist sect.
Rick’s Involvement: Hosted the New York premiere of the documentary at the Vilcek Foundation Gallery.
