About this project

I produced, shot and edited this short documentary for Tokyo Weekender exploring Nakajima’s innate desire to create. We spent the day with Nakajima-san on the outskirts of Tokyo, getting to know him and experiencing his art.

The video received over 20,000 views and inspired comments such as “What a beautiful person”, “Truly inspiring” and “This is such an incredibly beautiful video”.
