CHICHIBU AVANT-GARDE

A film about Shin Sasakubo's childhood place Chichibu - home of Mt. Buko, known as the “mountain of the gods.” It is the most important mountain in the local folk religion and serves as the sacred site of the Chichibu Shrine. This sacred mountain is blasted, even today, by large corporations who harvest limestone with dynamite. This film, a project by the art collective Chichibu Avant-Garde, and depicts memories of the destruction of Mt. Buko as if through a somato (Japanese revolving lantern) or kaleidoscope.
