Synopsis
Jintaro used to design tombs, but he had no choice but to clean up the cemetery when fewer people chose burial. He always goes to the Nanshan Cemetery after breakfast. He cuts the grass around his wife’s tomb, cleans up the surroundings, and examines each grave alongside the path he walked. Sometimes he doesn’t do anything but sit quietly in front of his wife’s tomb.
After he passes away, the grass is so tall that it covers tombs, the path that Jintaro used to walk, and his wife’s grave, which has not been swept anymore.
On this day, Jintaro starts from the columbarium and returns to the Nanshan Cemetery, where he spent half his life step by step.
