Welcome to the Sakura Collection on NOMADslow.tv, an evocative series of films crafted by Jason Rodi that explores the profound beauty and intricate connectivity of Japan during the cherry blossom season. This collection of atmospheric films is not just a travelogue; it's a spiritual journey across the landscapes of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, connected by the swift grace of the bullet train.
 

The Sakura films encapsulate the essence of Japan in spring, where each frame is a canvas and every moment is a verse in a poem about nature's fleeting beauty. From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the historical serenity of Kyoto and the vibrant energy of Osaka, these films capture the soul of each city and the quiet majesty of Mount Fuji across fields bristling with antennas.

Music plays a pivotal role in transforming these visuals into a transcendent experience. The spiritual and neo-psychedelic soundscapes provided by ANTENNAE, coupled with the emotive composition of Piki Chappell, specifically created for this series, enrich the visual journey. The music not only complements the visuals but enhances the emotional resonance of the scenes, making each viewing a unique emotional and sensory experience.
 

In this series, the bullet train becomes a metaphor for the passage of time and the thread that weaves the old with the new. As Rodi followed signals across the country, filming antennas against the backdrop of cherry blossoms, he was reminded of our collective role as antennas, beings capable of connecting the past with the present, the now with tomorrow, and extending those connections to infinity.
 

The Sakura films are invitations to experience Japan through a lens that captures not just images but the very essence of moments. Each film is a reminder of the transient beauty of Sakura, a season that teaches us about the momentary nature of existence.
 

Take this immersive journey and let the Sakura films take you on a ride into the profound depths of cultural and spiritual connectivity.
