I love this movie so much! From the gorgeous illustration --and over-cuteness at the beginning--to the enchanting and haunting koto music to the beautiful moral. Perhaps this world is full of imperfections, impurities, selfishness, and materialism. But it is also full of beautiful wilderness, kindness, and love. This story will make you think about happiness and memory. It will make you want to run away into the woods, away from all the false customs and rules of "civilized" life. It will make you want to shed your many robes and dance in the falling blossoms of a cherry tree.
