I also was thinking of this film, however I found it really dull.

What did you like about it?

I'm not trying to diss you, I usually like contemplative movies but this one was just too repetitive for my taste.

I resonated with what seemed to be a portrayal of appreciation of daily life and work (even if it isn't glamorous or cushiony).

The daily pause the main character makes as he leaves for work -- looking up at the sky, to be present and notice.

I loved the concept depicted in several scenes of the main character interacting with someone unknown through a tic-tac-toe game: finding a whimsical connection rather than throwing out the piece of paper.

The depiction of tender relationships between people.

It's a quiet film, comparatively, almost nothing happens. I found it very beautiful.

I was thrilled to learn the word komorebi - sunlight leaking through trees.

> They're all in Tokyo ;)

Yeah and effectively any store outside urban America.
