Description

[Machine Translation] The Restoration of Taro Okamoto's Giant Mural! This documentary follows the restoration project of the giant mural "Myth of Tomorrow", which is said to be the counterpart to Okamoto Taro's masterpiece "Tower of the Sun". The Myth of Tomorrow" is a huge mural 5.5m in height and 30m in width, which Taro Okamoto was commissioned by a Mexican businessman and visited the site many times to complete. However, due to the deterioration of the client's business situation, the hotel where the mural was to be installed was left unfinished, and "The Myth of Tomorrow" was removed from the lobby and lost. This film closely follows the people involved in the restoration of the mural and the process of its restoration, and is a definitive work full of rare footage documenting the whole picture of this major project!
