The Garden of Words Trailer

Japanese Title: Kotonoha no Niwa The Garden of Words will be his first story about love in the traditional Japanese meaning of the word. Originally, “love“ was written as “lonely sadness“ (koi), and, according to Shinkai, the modern concept of “love“ (ai) was imported from the West. While his new film is set in the modern era, it will be about koi in the original “lonely sadness“ meaning — of longing for someone in solitude.
