Mamoru Oshii (Film Director)
Mamoru Oshii is a man who began taking karate lessons 7 years ago at a dojo in Nakameguro as a way to stay fit. As a master filmmaker who has created many works around the theme of the borderline between body and spirit, he has begun to think that the concept of “self” is something physical in the body rather than memories in the mind as he has experienced the weakening of the body as one ages. As a man with that outlook, let’s explore what sort of sights he considers memorable.
