Business Overview

"Please tell me about the summer left in your hands ____" Natsumi is a magazine reporter who lives with her deaf daughter Yui, born to her divorced husband. The relationship between Natsumi and Yui was about to be severed. Natsumi has spent her life with her mother, Yasuko, without seeing her as much as necessary since she broke off in adolescence. One day, Natsumi is assigned to write an article on the 70 year anniversary of the end of World War II and thinks about her mother. His mother, who is deaf, was born in Nagasaki just before the end of the war and experienced the atomic bombing. Natsumi asks for an interpreter to listen to the experiences of a deaf person who experienced the atomic bombing. Sawaguchi, her ex-husband, came as an interpreter. Natsumi was reminded of her mother when a Deaf person talked about the fierce atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Natsumi returns home with Sawaguchi, an interpreter. The mother and daughter meet for the first time in a long time. "Same. I'm the same mother I hated ....." The mother's life is told through an interpreter. And the atomic bombing of her mother's parents — a story of a mother and daughter in 70, tangled, entangled, disconnected yet connected. Direction: Nozaki Miko Script: Yonaiyama Yoko (TITAKIYO) Cast: Ohashi Hiroe, etc.

Profile

Sign Art Project. The aim of Asian is to develop sign language as an artistic performance. For example, by fusing sign language with music, dance and theater, we hope to impress people with performances that enhance artistic quality. We aim to carry out a wide range of activities to promote artistic sign language performances. The English name "Sign Art Project. AZN" means. This project aims to promote sign language as a means of communication that transcends ethnic and national borders and creates a new movement and culture.
We want to convey "love," "emotion" and "dreams" through sign language performances. I sincerely hope that I can create an opportunity to break down the "mental barrier" that everyone has somewhere in their heart, to release themselves, and to become closer to the hearts of others around the world who are living together.
