Story
A document of the Agehama-style salt fields (a style of sun-drying sea water that is scattered on a cleared beach) in Okunoto, which were devastated by a recent earthquake. The film reveals a way of life in harmony with nature and leads us to wonder about the beginnings of human activity.
The city of Suzu in Ishikawa Prefecture was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake of 2024. The Agehama salt produced in this area uses traditional techniques of gathering seawater, scattering them on a cleared beach, sun-drying them in the open air, and then boiling them in a flat pot for a full day and night. The passion of the craftspeople who devote themselves to salt production and their way of life in harmony with nature makes us wonder about the beginnings of human activity.
