Japan: Between Earth & Sky

Japan, land of modernity and tradition, developed to the rhythm of its main island, Honshu. At the foot of Mount Fuji, it is the largest and the most populated of the archipelago. Hurt by earthquarkes and wars, it is the domain of the capital Tokyo and the ancient imperial city of Kyoto. This journey between land and sky, into the heart of the third world economic power, plunges into the intimate life of a people who made the History.

Japan, Land of the Rising Sun, with its panoramas forged by volcanoes and tradition, is a mighty international economic power. In the far north of the country, Hokkaido, one of the four large islands making up the archipelago, the ancient and sacred land of the Ainu people, is a vast natural paradise. This journey over the four seasons of the year, between earth and sky, volcanoes and clear lakes, tells the unique story of people who live at one with nature.
