"Kochuu" is a Japanese expression meaning "in the bowl".
A term used during the Edo period to suggest that big thoughts can prosper even in the smallest tea houses.
Kochuu is a visually stunning film about modern Japanese architecture, its roots in the Japanese tradition, and its impact on the Nordic building tradition. Winding its way through visions of the future and traditional concepts, nature and concrete, gardens and high-tech spaces, the film explains how contemporary Japanese architects strive to unite the ways of modern man with the old philosophies in astounding constructions.
