TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two men in white karate gi practice martial arts on a tatami mat indoors. One man performs a low stance while the other stands observing, then they face each other in a formal stance before one executes a dynamic strike. Shot on 8mm film with visible grain and soft focus, this vintage home movie captures authentic 1970s martial arts training with a nostalgic, archival feel.
