Tokyo Fair Weather

The film tells the marriage of a photographer. Nobuyoshi Araki took photographs for many years. He lived with his wife Yoko. Yoko died of illness in 1990. The film rests on what he wrote afterwards. Araki’s diaries were the source. The account is built out of ordinary moments. A house and a street in Tokyo. The two of them walk together. Sometimes they argue. There is a trouble in the woman that goes unspoken. The man tries to hold it in photographs. Time moves slowly. After the death the house stands empty. The film tells love and loss side by side. Naoto Takenaka and Miho Nakayama appear in the one hundred twenty one minute film, a Japanese production Naoto Takenaka finished in 1997.
