  • An architectural marvel has sat incomplete in a residential corner of Barcelona since its architect, Antoni Gaudí, died during construction in 1926. For decades, La Sagrada Familia has been an example of Christian fealty and Catalan ingenuity wrought in granite and sandstone; but little could anyone have guessed that ninety-four years after Gaudí's death a Japanese sculptor would dedicate his life to completing the architect’s colossal work...

    I love how a Japanese accent sounds in Spanish (or Catalonian).

    The whole movie was so light as the feather that felt on Master's shoulder. Thank you!

    “Every action is to live” touches my heart. I’ve been feeling pretty low lately due to the everlasting lock-down but kept on beating myself for feeling this way when some people out there are battling for their lives or losing their jobs etc. I realise I cannot just breathe, I need to act to keep my soul and spirit live on. Hope you all have a wonderful day, whoever you are.

    I was there last year and I just felt there was this amazing story behind it, but I didn’t know it would be this kind of story.
    How beautiful for continuing his work. It’s not easy to continue someone else’s work, it’s almost as if you have to enter their mind and soul.
    Props to you Sotoo✨

    People laugh that the holy family has been under construction for a long time, until you see it live and go inside, then you realize that it is not that it will take a long time to build it, but that nothing like it will NEVER be built while you are alive, Gaudí was the Architect of God, in its monuments you can see nature and everything at the same time, majestic Gaudí.

    Impressive dedication to work and art !
    Sagrada Famila sculpted by a Japanese expat. Gaudi would be surprised.
    Very fine example for how people are at their best, if we are not restricted to local borders, but can live out our dreams where the passion meets the job requirements.

    I actually don’t like it. The Duomo di Milano is way, way more beautiful.
    La sagrada familia looks like a construction that doesn’t have a project behind. It looks like it was thought and built day by day with no clear understanding what the final result should have looked like.
    It looks more like fantasy construction made for a movie
