[ Story ]

A documentary film featuring a married couple living together with the vast nature of Iriomotejima Island in Okinawa. Ishigaki Akiko, a fabric-dyeing artist who spins her own threads, dyes them into brilliant colors using native plants and weaves beautiful fabrics, and her husband Ishigaki Kinsei who loves the songs and festivals of their island. The film closely focuses on the environmental issues of the island while featuring the simple lifestyle of the couple deeply rooted in the area. The spiritual images with "color" as their theme - blue ocean, green trees, white raw silk, navy hand-dyed fabrics - leave a great impression on the viewers.
