Unveil Japan Experiences Featured in Nini Sun’s YouTube Video

We are delighted to share that several people, places, and experiences introduced through Unveil Japan are featured in Nini Sun’s new YouTube video, “I Met the Last Resident of a Vanishing Japanese Village.”

The video takes viewers beyond the familiar sights of Japan and into the lives, traditions, and creativity of people across Ishikawa—from a secluded mountain village with only one remaining resident to Kutani ware, traditional woodworking, and a family-style local meal.

Featured in the Video

• Ozuchi Village
  Visit a quiet mountain community cared for by Noboru Nimaida, its last remaining resident.
• Tomoko Suzuki and Hanazume Kutani Ware
  Meet a Kutani ceramic artist who has revived and reimagined the intricate, flower-filled hanazume style for the present day.
• Wood Charring
  Discover yakigiri, a traditional technique that uses fire to protect wood while revealing the natural beauty of its grain.
• Bamboo Sushi Family Meal
  Prepare sasa-zushi, a celebratory local dish wrapped in bamboo leaves, in the warm atmosphere of a Japanese family meal.

We hope the video inspires you to discover a quieter, more personal side of Ishikawa—and to meet the people who keep its traditions alive.
