Taking as its starting point the “self-management struggle” by childcare workers at the Minato Nursery School in Nagoya City in 1972, I researched and produced this work about the childcare environment and labor movement of that time.
The words used to defend the right of women to work and the right of children to receive childcare in Japan during its period of rapid economic growth resonate with the same earnestness 50 years later, and seem to question the passion for change that we have today in the face of an unchanging reality.
