Lo studio fotografico del signor Hirasaka non è un luogo qualsiasi. Ogni visitatore viene accolto senza fretta, secondo un rituale preciso. In giardino, tante piccole lanterne brillano tra i ciliegi. A turno entrano nella stanza un’ex insegnante novantenne, un membro della yakuza e una ragazzina. Hirasaka li fa sedere su un comodo divano di pelle, prepara il tè e illustra i servizi speciali che offre lo studio. A tutti consegna degli scatoloni pieni di foto-ricordo della loro vita: potranno sceglierne una per ogni anno che hanno vissuto.
