A reader from Denmark sent me a link to this video clip, and I thought I would share it. The fellow being interviewed in the trailer is Yoshihiro Takishita, the force behind a recent resurgence of interest in Minka. The story recounts his experiences with his American foster father in rebuilding a Minka in 1967. I think, if the trailer is any indication, that the film will be well worth viewing.
