Eighteen kendo portraits, from Paris to Luzern.
Over the past months I filmed in dojos across Europe — Paris, Zürich, Lausanne, Luzern.
One person, one word, a few minutes each. No narration, no questions on screen. Only the
person in front of the camera, speaking for themselves.
The first four are online, and a new one follows every Tuesday and Friday.
#1 Kōken-chiai — Jean-Pierre Labru, 52 years in kendo
#2 Ikigai — Daniel Antoni
#3 A Beautiful Kendo — Joud Bouaita
#4 Kendo Family — Godi Renz
The whole series: https://www.youtube.com/
And the reason I was carrying a camera at all: in June 2027, the week after the World
Championships in Tokyo, we are holding an international kendo festival in Shizuoka.

ヨーロッパの道場で撮った、剣道のポートレート18本。
パリ、チューリッヒ、ローザンヌ、ルツェルン。ひとりにつき、ひとつの言葉。ナレーションもなく、カメラの前の本人が自分の言葉で語るだけの数分です。
すでに4本公開。以後、火曜と金曜に1本ずつ。
A dojo in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Jean-Pierre Labru first...
