Futari No Togenkyo

[Machine Translation] For many years, a local TV station has followed an elderly couple living deep in the mountains of the Chugoku Mountains, where there is no electricity or running water. They have been featured in a series of news and information programs, and documentaries have been produced at milestones and broadcast nationwide on occasion. The series "Futari no Momogenkyo" (Peach Blossoms of the Two Peach Trees) has received a great response each time it has been broadcast, and in 2008, it was made into a movie. The movie "Futari no Momogenkyo" became a hit that drew large audiences nationwide, and it continues to be shown in theaters today. This book is based on 30 years of interviews.
