Japan in Düsseldorf. The Story of Little Tokyo

The streets around Immermannstrasse are known far beyond Düsseldorf as Little Tokyo on the Rhine. This is where you can get the best ramen in town (although you may have to queue!), visit Japanese supermarkets and be amazed – and perhaps a little confused – by what the stores have to offer. In this film, six people of Japanese origin offer a very personal insight into their lives in the city. Ceramics artist Jimu Kobayashi, chef Masao Kobayashi, magician Yuta Maruyama, food influencer Miki ‘Mila’ Furue, dancer Kunie Baba and her son, the choreographer Takao Baba, are joined by Japanologist Dr. Konstantin Plett, who explains what outside influences and decisions paved the way for Little Tokyo and why Düsseldorf has become an international magnet for Japanese people and Japanophiles.
