At a Hospital Roof Garden

A garden with seasonal flowers and a clear view of the sky. Its location? The roof of a hospital in Ochanomizu, Tokyo. Patients and family members stop by this peaceful garden. A father with his sick child. A man on crutches catching some fresh air. A cancer patient recovering from lung surgery. A visit to the hospital can be a trying experience. What does this space offer them? For three days, we listened to the stories of the people who came by.
