In the “Hibi” AUG series, every year for the month of August the filmmaker shoots footage everyday, with the result being a work in which fifteen seconds of footage from each day are assembled in order to create 31 shots. In 2015, the filmmaker spent his time thinking about the Emperor (of Japan). This is a special version that includes footage taken after August and additional monologues and music. (M.S.)
