When you visit shrines in Tokyo, you're often surprised by the sacred places that have been protected by the people.

Floods, fires, earthquakes, war damage, and materialism.

Small shrines, shrines enshrined on the rooftops of buildings, shrines directly under the highway.

Sacred places that are there for people in any form, and the guardians who protect them.
I made this video because I wanted to share those beautiful images.
Japanese landscapes and Japanese people of the past preserved in old photographs.
There is a Japan that seems likely to be forgotten. I really don't want to forget this forgotten Japan.
The photographs are around 100 years old, some are around 150 years old, and some are even 85 years old.
Please feel the connection with the people of the past.
