The Factory That Makes Rice Ball Machines

Photographer Satoru Abe goes to Fukuoka Prefecture, southwest Japan, to visit a factory that manufactures rice ball machines. Convenience store rice balls are extremely popular, and 80% of the machines that make them in Japan are produced at this factory. The rice ball is a simple food, but the machines that make them are developed with a whole lot of ingenuity, love and thoughtfulness. In another segment, we visit hospital chefs who cook requested meals for the terminally ill every week. We witness the care that goes into their work and also what the chefs do for lunch.
