TOKYO JAPAN-1971: A black-and-white 8mm home movie captures a traditional martial arts greeting in a minimalist dojo. Two men in white gi uniforms face each other on tatami mats; one, a black belt master, sits upright in seiza, while his pupil performs a deep bow, demonstrating respect and discipline. The grainy, high-contrast footage with visible film edge and soft focus evokes the authentic feel of a 1970s Japanese martial arts training session, highlighting the ritualistic bond between master and student.
