Work experience in a hospital as a physical therapistNakamū
I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

Rashōmon

[Daiei 4K Film Festival / Rashomon] Special Footage

Let me introduce the film Rashomon, directed by Akira Kurosawa.

Rashomon is based on Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s short story In a Grove, while its title and certain settings are drawn from Akutagawa’s Rashomon.

Although set in the Heian period, the film is crafted by depicting events from the perspectives of several different characters.

It explores dark themes, delving into the depths of the human heart and the self-serving mindset that prioritizes personal gain.

Sometimes we cannot even grasp our own feelings, and understanding those of others is even more difficult.

This work centers on such aspects of human nature.

After watching, it seems like a film that would invite exchanging opinions—such as “Here’s what I thought”—together with older viewers.

Railroad Man is a film set in Hokkaido.

Ken Takakura plays a man devoted solely to his work as a railway employee, lending the film added depth.

A young girl comes to visit this railwayman, who has lived for his job without looking back at his family.

Through his encounter with this girl, the railwayman’s heart and soul are cleansed.

The era when many older people remained active in the workforce seems to overlap with the film’s backdrop of living for one’s work.

Using the movie as a starting point, it might be a good chance to look back on family memories and spark lively conversations with your loved ones.
