An old Japanese show about various repair specialists. Each episode is short and takes you through the restoration of a beloved old object: a photograph, a stuffed penguin, a chair, a radish grater, a dictionary, etc. There are no English subtitles but you don’t really need them, the process speaks for itself. Aside from being visually and aurally soothing, it warms my heart to see people who care enough about everyday items to fix instead of replace them, and to see the specialists take such great care with these objects of affection. It gives me mild existential angst thinking about how many wondrous things get tossed when they break, but the show inspires me to take better care of the objects in my life and learn how to fix them. 10/10
