I live in America. My motto is, “Ichigo ichie” in Japanese or roughly, “Every moment is unique and should be cherished as such.” So my nickname is “Ichigo,” which also means strawberry in Japanese. I wish to talk about modern society and history through movies.

After a battle with cancer, Ichigo, the blog master of this site, passed away in 2013. She kept watching movies, one of many things she loved, and wrote about them until her health no longer allowed her to do so. By writing about movies, she reflected on her life, bravely faced her death, and hoped to leave something valuable to those she loved.

We have translated all of her original writings into English on this blog. To continue Ichigo’s spirit of writing about history and people through films, different members of Ichigo’s family will periodically post on this blog about films they have watched. The posts will primarily be in English.
