An Artisan's Legacy: Tsunekazu Nishioka (JFF+)

Movie Details

In-depth look at the twilight years, spent training apprentices, of temple builder Nishioka Tsunekazu, who was called the "devil" as he devoted his life to temple architecture.

But he is unable to procure the 1,000-plus-year-old Japanese cypress necessary for the building in Japan, and heads for Taiwan.
