Perfect Days

On the surface, the life of public toilet cleaner Hirayama should be mind-numbingly tedious, yet here is a delicate lesson in how to live a life of reward and taking pleasure in small things. A bonus is the cultural heritage of Japanese sanitation.

Hirayama works as a public toilet cleaner in Shibuya, Tokyo. His is a calm, quiet existence.

Every day, he wakes up at the same time, gets ready the same way, and works the same way. Though his life may seem monotonous, no two days are ever the same, and he steps into each new day with a serene optimism.

Hirayama’s way of life exudes a gentle beauty. He loves trees and gazing at komorebi, the shimmering of light and shadows that is created by leaves swaying in the wind. But unexpected events create ripples in his life that reach back into his past.
