People, nature, the earth ...
​ A documentary film that thinks about what everything should be...

Everyone's Boat
JOMON-SAN HAS COME

What stone ax and the giant tree taught me ...  

"Let's make a boat that everyone can ride with a smile," said Kunihiro Amemiya, a man who holds a stone ax.

The life to make a dugout canoe is 250-year-old cedar.

What does it mean to return to the primitive and act in an era full of things?

​ What is the heart that faces your life?

"Something" that humankind has forgotten that can be felt for the first time by reviving the world that our ancestors would have followed to the present day.

A documentary film that has been chasing such a "Jomon-san came! Project" for over two years.

Jomon is here! project

A project to use primitive wisdom and tools to build a huge dugout canoe to go around Japan with children from all over the country.

Part1 ・ Cut cedar trees, Part2 ・ Go around the country and make a dugout canoe together

Part3 ・ Started in 2021 with a total of three parts, riding a dugout canoe.

Participating children make stones with their own hands and work with the theme of thinking and feeling various things while facing a huge cedar tree.

The funds for the project are collected by crowdfunding.

The reason for movie production and the current situation

"Even if I get the precious life of cedar, I have something to tell everyone."

 

When I heard that from ​Jomon-san, I thought I needed to somehow record the action.

Jomon-san left the state of the project as a video and brought the project to many major video production companies in order to have many people think about the relationship between life, people and the earth, but all were refused. It seems to be.

Recording a project that lasted more than two years would have made the production budget huge, and maybe I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. ​

 

I thought I might be able to do it.

For the time being, if you have the equipment and yourself, you can do something about it. I thought I could do something about it.

For the time being, I decided to shoot as much as I could at my own expense and record as much as I could.

Even if it is said that it is ad hoc, even if it is said that it is decided by force, I will manage to continue.

The other party is alive. This is because the time passed by without being able to be taken cannot be recovered anymore. ​

 

It's been a year since I started shooting, and I really understand how weak and weak I am.

But I was able to shoot so far.

 

For another year or so, with the great help of various people, I would like to manage to take the picture to the end and deliver it to everyone. ​ It's a rather unreasonable challenge, but please keep an eye on it. ​ And somehow at the edge of my heart, I would be very happy if you could support me.

片岡鶴太郎様のコメント(ご本人ブログより)

原始の道具を辿れば、現代人の失った物が見えて来るかも知れない。

人間本来の生き方はここにあると確信してしまう程。

本当に素晴らしい作品です!
