In this whirlwind tour of Tokyo’s cutting edge performance art underground, Okazaki captures musings about questions of Western influence, social conscience and the creative aspects of culture. This film is not the stereotypical meditative Zen experience one might expect of “Japanese Art and Culture.” Includes the “bonsai kid” and an “ultra-femme mechanical doll.”

“Is the new generation of artists [in Japan] ... worthless, spoiled, [and] unoriginal?”

- Kenzaburo Oe, writer and Nobel Laureate
