―When Talking About Romance, Sex and Love. Soseki, Ogai, Hongo Ward and Its Periphery

Through Natsume Soseki and Mori Ogai, stories based on Kakinoki’s experience and thought, interviews and dialogues, and questionnaires and correspondence with anonymous people, we think and talk together about romantic love and sexual love. It consists of an urban essay film set in the old Hongo ward neighbourhood, a reading cafe (reading and tea-drinking events), and one-on-one dialogue tours. With participants and audience in Hongo, we consider the present and future of romance, sex and love.

*Kakinoki will be at the venue except during the dialogue tours and breaks. His up-to-date schedule will be announced at https://twitter.com/masatokakinoki and the venue.
