[1]This movie about a 1300-year-old family business is the most sublime
thing you'll see today:
Built in 718 AD, [2]Hōshi is the second oldest ryokan (hotel or inn)
in the world and, with 46 consecutive generations of the same family
running it, is hands down the longest running known family business
in history. But, after 1300 years of tradition, change is in the
air. The Hōshi ryokan, in Komatsu, Japan, is a beautiful space that
has a beautiful story, told well, in this short video by filmmaker
[3]Fritz Schumann.
