Trucks driving in snowy Sapporo. It travels from house to house delivering kerosene, which is indispensable for winter life. In this three-day report, we closely follow the kerosene delivery truck. When the truck stops at a house, it stretches out its hose and fills the kerosene tanks and polyethylene tanks at the house. An elderly customer was so engrossed in cleaning up that he did not notice that his heater had run out of kerosene. A couple who run a hair salon and need kerosene for their boiler. Each of them has their own reasons for seeking kerosene. We follow the kerosene delivery trucks as they make their rounds and observe people trying to get through the harsh winter.
