Wim Wenders - Journey to Onomichi - Schirmer/Mosel 2009

"I have always wondered where my favorite film (yes, of all times) Tokyo Story, (or Tokyo monogatari in Japanese,) actually takes place, except in Tokyo of course. Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece from 1953 depicts a small seaside fishing town in which the story begins and ends. An old couple departs from there in order to visit their kids in the big city one last time. After their return the old woman dies, and her husband is left alone. Eventually somebody told me that this coastal town was called Onomichi, in the South of Japan. So one day my wife and I made the reverse journey and traveled from Tokyo to Onomichi where we stayed for a week."
