Synopsis
Do you wish to know what happen in a future?
A folklore often tells us a banal and mundane life that is a timeless matter with a strange event with a trickster. If people remember it, it’s because its strangeness. Otherwise, it can be only a passing event that we never pay attention to, and forget it among busy daily events. A Japanese monk walks with “Shakujou” that is a long stick with brass rings on a top, while he practices in a mountain. Every step he walks on his path, the sound of metal rings make a mark on his life. Marks are a flow of time to the death, moment by moment, no matter something happens, or not.
This is a story of the time a candle is lit.
“Yuke” is a foretelling that fashioned in the 7th century in Japan. You stand at a corner of a crossroad and listen to words of passersby’s at a dusk dark enough time you couldn’t tell who are those passersby. You bring those words to a foreteller. She will tell what you want to know. Voices come to you are no one’s voice but comes from other world, demons, sprits and gods, through passersby. Isn’t this a lot like what you would say on your psychoanalyst’s bed?
The shrine maiden who wishes to listen voices and stands at a corner of a crossroad this evening.
