"’The Legend of Kūkai’ radiated a rare energy and sincerity, especially from its passionate young team. The film beautifully channels over 1,250 years of human wisdom and emotion. One particular scene moved me deeply—Master Huiguo’s gentle gaze toward Kūkai was filled with compassion and warmth, a moment that still lingers in my heart.
 

My heartfelt thanks to the entire team. I sincerely hope this film reaches audiences across Japan and around the world.”

"A documentary of epic scale that bridges civilizations."
