Japanese Kujawiak

“Japanese Kujawiak” tells the story of Mr. Oka and his wife, who met in the early 1980s during a dance course (Polish kujawiak) in the town of Tomonoura, Hiroshima Prefecture. For 40 years, they have been running a school of Polish folk dances, as well as a private museum of Polish folklore. Twice a year, they are regularly visited by dancers from the Mazowsze and Śląsk ensembles to further train new groups of course participants. The film narrates the meeting of two distant cultures and the mutual benefits arising from such an encounter. It is also a universal story about confronting issues of intimacy and overcoming personal barriers stemming from the body. The film makes use of extensive VHS materials; for 40 years, the Okas have been recording every gathering of dancers, including their visit to Poland in
the 1980s, where they had a traditional polish wedding.
