Blind Shiratori’s Eyes for Art
This documentary film is about Mr. Kenji Shiratori, who has been active as a ‘blind connoisseur of art’ in Japan.

Kenji, who was born nearly blind, visited an art museum for the first time on a date with his girlfriend. That day, while listening to her words in front of a work of art, he began to think, ‘Maybe it is possible for a blind person to see art through words.’ He knocked on the doors of many art museums himself, and he eventually developed his own unique way of appreciating art through ‘free conversation’.
This documentary film follows the rich conversations spun between the ‘blind art appreciator’, his friends, museum workers and so on. He often travels around Japan's regions while visiting art museums. The camera continues to document his journey and his daily life, which is not visible.

Some questions are explored in the film, such as what is a disability? What is the power of art? Is there something we can see only because we cannot see it? What is the meaning of people with different backgrounds viewing art together? Can words bridge the gap between the visible and the invisible?
Even though the film does not provide any direct answers, watching this film could provide an opportunity to consider such questions.
