Un beso en Tokio

Kengo Oe, a Japanese architect at the peak of his professional career, decides to break with everything to find the lost harmony and vitality. Throughout a vital and emotional journey, from China to Zimbabwe, his journey becomes a pilgrimage through the aesthetic universe of the 20th and 21st centuries that will allow him to rediscover desire and reflect on the chance in our existence, on the complex nature of love and absence, about reality and dreams, the mystery of beauty, and, ultimately, about the invincible happiness of being. Through the book, which is a true portrait of the artist, cultural greats parade: from the architect Tadao Ando to the artists Chagall, Giacometti, Balthus, Harland Miller, Damien Hirst, Manolo Blahnik, Mercedes Lara or music performers like María Callas, Herbert Von Karajan, Miles Davis or Ryuichi Sakamoto. Through cinema, music or architecture, contemplated by the creative spirit of Oe's character, we feel how art can dilute borders, also those of the East and the West.
