An excerpt from the short film, "Minka," by Davina Pardo.
Minka is a short documentary which chronicles the restoration of a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse by American journalist John Roderick and Japanese architect and art collector Yoshihiro Takishita. The men rescued and relocated the old house-with the help of traditional builders and artisans-and turned it into a beautiful home for over 40 years. Minka, meaning "people's house" in Japanese, is a traditional house that was once common in Japan. The film explores place, memory, friendship, and the meaning of home.
