The Good Wife of Tokyo
1992・United Kingdom・53 minutes
After living in the UK for 15 years, Japanese woman Kazuko Hohki brought her band "Frank Chickens" back to her long-lost motherland. However, what accompanied her was not a deep nostalgia, but a huge cultural gap. She uses music to express her unique ideas, and she also experiences and discovers this cultural difference from her friends in Japan and her own experience. How to be a good wife who meets the standards in Japanese society? Or how to be a typical Japanese? The story of Kazuko Hohki allows people to see the contradictions and integration of Japanese tradition and modernity.
