Having lost their home through damage from the war, Tanaka Toru and his wife Fusako began growing their own food and living a lifestyle deep in the mountains where there is no water or electricity. Though they did at one time leave in favor of the city for their children's sake, they returned to the mountain after reaching their sixties.
