Since he was a boy, Daito had traveled to other states to find work. That seemed the only realistic option to earn a decent income and provide for his family. But in 2020, after years of traveling, he suddenly got stuck in his village, a place where it was nearly impossible to make a living.

The green fields and stretching trees of Daito’s village are deceitful. They imply abundance, growth and life—not the desert of opportunity that Daito and most of his neighbors feel. In this village, there are few opportunities to earn income, and the COVID-19 pandemic has made the economic situation worse.

When the pandemic mushroomed, the factory closed, removing even that poor source of income.
