The sadness of time passing. In x years I'll be gone, all my worries & regrets will be like smoke. Thank God my existence has its source outside this material plane, really. I feel like life is a sad warm song, like Ozu's film stories, but also it's not some sort of trap ... The sadness gets worst when I pretend that this life, which is all we know, is all there ever was or can be. In times of weakness, when I hold that belief by default, life becomes regret, worry, & sorrow. Life is joy.

I hope Japan will preserve and rediscover its identity.

[@9ertsch]

The idea of a collective identity is ambiguous at best, and can get worrying if you dig beyond or beneath that.

[@9ertsch]

Mind you, the alternative is also ambiguous and worrying. It's a complex business, isn't it.

小津作品の「お茶漬けの味」は実際に最後に夫婦でお茶漬けを食べて映画を締めたけど、「秋刀魚の味」では鱧（ハモ）は出てきても秋刀魚は出て来ない。
季節と秋刀魚のハラワタのような人生のほろ苦さをタイトルが表現しているような気がしました。

You are human, but you are also a small piece universe that has been stretching out since the big-bang. You are a process that began before your birth, and will go on after your death. This larger Pov helps me out when I get existential. Idk. I read this film as a mourning for the loss of Japanese cultural identity after ww2- you know the sublimation into US consumer culture
