The spirit of Japanese hospitality has been nurtured over the centuries, through the spiritual connection of the people with a myriad of gods. The god of the fields, for example, watches over rice cultivation. After the harvest, farmers invite the god into their homes for a meal. In parts of the country that get a lot of snow, the mountain god comes down to the village once a year. Children cower, but residents still invite it inside for a meal. As the source of both blessings and disasters, nature is revered in Japanese tradition. The gods are believed to dwell in everything: in forests, rivers, rocks, and an endless array of other places. This program, shot with 4K video equipment, allows viewers to sense the mysterious-yet-delightful relationship between Japanese people and their countless gods.

Through decades of combat in war-torn Afghanistan, a Japanese man has been waging a different battle, against the ravages of drought. Tetsu Nakamura is a 70 year-old physician. Beginning in 1991, he opened 3 clinics to provide medical service in the mountainous eastern region of the country. However, a historic drought that began in 2000 led to shortages of water and food, causing the deaths of many people. From the perspective of providing medical care, "One irrigation canal will do more good than 100 doctors!" Nakamura shed his physician's white coat and set out to build an irrigation canal. 16 years later, the plains have turned green again and local people have begun to return to farming with renewed security. Nakamura declares, "Weapons and tanks don't solve problems. The revival of farming is the cornerstone of Afghanistan's recovery". The program follows Nakamura's 16 years of unrelenting effort, to examine the question of what kind of aid will assist Afghanistan the most.

Hiroshima government officials have been tirelessly collecting records on those killed to find out how they died. Using this "big data", NHK created a visualization of the movements of the 557,000 victims of the August 6, 1945 attack. Some did indeed perish instantly. Others burned to death in collapsed buildings. But what about the people who died in a strange "donut zone of death" days after the bombing and in areas more than 2 kilometers from ground zero?
This documentary goes beyond big data to provide heart-rending accounts from people close to victims and survivors, revealing the true story of what happened on that dark day more than 70 years ago.
