Seven Samurai - 'Little Deluxe Living' - a short film

Seven Samurai

'Little Deluxe Living' is a short film (15 mins) about our time in Japan with the women of Toge & two men we meet - David Tate and Karl Bengs. David is the founder of Lilliput Lane in Cumbria and a passionate advocate of British vernacular architecture. Karl is an emigre German craftsman/designer who has devoted his working life to saving traditional Japanese homes - building his own utopian village across the valley from Toge.
