Here is a happier side to Japan life than we were looking at last week. Children Full of Life is a moving award-winning documentary from Japan’s NHK which follows the life of a class of 10 year old students through an academic year in which they learn more about the realities of life and especially death and coping with emotions under the inspired guidance of their extraordinary teacher.

How would it be if all teachers were as sensitive and honest as Mr. Kanamori? Here is a true teaching, not just passing on information, but showing by example how to live in a better, more open and caring way.

Wonderful to see these children openly sharing experiences, feelings and how their teacher facilitates. Open communication gets harder later — Japanese society is so structured, so formal. No wonder most Japanese treasure their friends from elementary school — often the closest they’ll ever make!
Can I recommend the superb Japanese movie, Departures (2008?)
