Au Japon avec Yuriko

Yuriko is 11 years old. She lives near Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Today, she has an appointment with her friend Myo to go for a ride at the Rake Festival, one of the biggest religious holidays celebrated in Japan. As a major industrialized country, the second largest economy in the world, Japan is also a nation where traditions remain very important. Yuriko goes on an adventure. From Kamakura, Shoguns' city, warlords, to Tokyo, an imperial city invaded by the latest technological innovations, the little girl explains to us the ways of thinking of the Japanese, their attachment to cleanliness, politeness, but also their taste for sushi and electronic gadgets.
