Kotodama, el camino del espejo
Dubbed in : Spanish ( Original ) , JAP , English
A poetic documentary linking Spain and Japan through the Camino de Santiago, the Shikoku pilgrimage and Japanese calligraphy (shodo), exploring spirituality, art, nature and the search for meaning. The artist Inari Kuko embarks on a transformative journey, guided by the mysterious meaning of the Japanese term Kotodama. In her search, she delves into the art of shodo, traditional Japanese calligraphy, while traveling along two ancient pilgrimage routes: the Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) in Spain and the Shikoku Henro in Japan. Throughout her journey, the act of walking and the gesture of the calligraphic brushstroke reveal themselves as expressions of the same idea: the path understood not merely as a destination, but as a process. Along the way, pilgrims, Buddhist monks, artisans and calligraphers become the voices of a universal story, bridging past and present, East and West.
