This film tells the story of professor Uehida Hyakken-sama (1889-1971), in Gotemba, around the forties. He was a university professor until an air raid, when he left to become a writer and has to live in a hut. His mood has hardly changed, not by the change nor by time. Every year his students celebrate his birthday, issuing the question "Mahda kai?" (not yet?), just to hear Uehida-san's answer "Madada yo!" (No, not yet!), in a ritual of self affirmation, and desires of lasting forever. It's a very "japanese" film who portrays everyday life and customs in Japan. (imdb)

Cramped kitchens, dangerous stairs, tiny bathrooms. Each designer turns a house full of impossible problems into a brand-new living space for the owners. The final results are surprising! The techniques to incorporate traditional elements of Japanese design with modern innovation and space-saving solutions are astonishing. Each designer also tries to retain or relate some family heirloom or client interest in their final design, making the renovation that much more unique and personal.
