TV program featuring kendo awarded a prize

NHK won a prize of the Agency for Cultural Affairs for the documentary
TV program featuring the 12th World Kendo Championships.
Of course, the highlight of the film is the Tsuki of Eiga which led
Japan to the 12th victory in the championship.
Without the Tsuki, the program could not be as impressive and moving as it is.

If you see the program carefully, you can find Abe(me) in the audience!

NHKのドキュメント番組「ただ一撃にかける」が平成15年度の文化庁芸術祭賞を受賞していたのですね。
番組構成も確かによかったけれど、やっぱりあの「一撃」が受賞の決め手なのかも。
ちなみにツキが決まった直後に僕、ちょっと映ってます。
