Inventions

Hauschka

The music video for 'Inventions' by Japanese director Waturo Sato. He explains the inspiration for the video - "When people from all over the world think of Japan, they probably envision Tokyo with its towering skyscrapers. However, in this video, I've turned our focus to towns and individuals who hold their culture in high regard, and to those who, upon recognizing the beauty of this culture, create something anew. My intention was to highlight that these often overlooked people and cultural aspects play a pivotal role in our society. With Japan's diverse culture and landscapes, we hope that, through the medium of sound, it can be appreciated by audiences worldwide."
