Description:

This documentary explores the world of artisans who practice Agehama-shiki, an ancient salt-making technique, in the scenic northern Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture. It marks the feature directorial debut of Ishii Kaori. The traditional method of boiling seawater in hiragama cauldrons nearly disappeared after World War II, but one family's dedication has kept it alive. These salt artisans embody a valuable connection to tradition in our modern world.
