The action of this human drama takes place in the city of Echizen. The main character, whose grandfather was a master of washi (making Japanese traditional paper), gets acquainted with the culture and history of Echizen-washi and realizes her responsibility as a successor. Natsu Iwasaki was born in the city of Echizen and grew up familiar with washi as a descendant of washi artisans. When she was a child, she drew pictures on washi made by her grandfather, and received an award from the governor of the prefecture. However, I did not receive any prizes at the art university in the specialty “watercolor painting”, and now I am not sure of myself. Natsu and her family live in Tokyo, and her 80-year-old grandfather Junji still makes handmade Japanese paper in the city of Echizen alone.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
