Osawa Village, located at an altitude of 740 meters, on a steep mountain slope in the northernmost part of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The village offers gorgeous views of nearby Mt. Azabu, and the Shirokura River that flows down through a deep ravine below. This film provides a quiet look at the process of making tea that takes place here in the lush season of late May—from picking tea along Osawa’s steep slopes, through its processing at a local factory.
