Kyoto Story, Yoji Yamada, Tsutome Abe
“This character shows a man standing and looking back. In the center is a heart-shaped character. So, the man is leaving but his heart wishes to stay. The character is ai (love). This is the form of the character 3000 years ago. After 1000 years, its form changed and it became the ai that is used today. I can empathize with the ancients who used this character.”
Kyoto Story (2010, dir. Yoji Yamada, Tsutomu Abe)
