Brilliant but short movie only about 50 minutes long and only a few select locations in it as well as limited dialogue in places.
It's more atmospheric than most movies and is done extremely well.
I absolutely loved watching this and wished it was longer.
Please note with how short the movie is and that things are fairly slow paced, the trailer does contain some big spoilers so avoid watching this trailer if you want to experience the movie without knowing anything.

Wikipedia Wrote:The Garden of Words is considered a romance[1] and drama film.[2] It opens at the start of the rainy season in Tokyo with Takao Akizuki (秋月 孝雄 Akizuki Takao), a 15-year-old student and aspiring shoemaker, opting to skip his first class and sketch shoe designs in the garden at Shinjuku Gyoen. There he encounters Yukari Yukino (雪野 百香里 Yukino Yukari), a 27-year-old woman who is skipping work and enjoying beer and chocolate. When she notices the school crest on his uniform, Yukari bids him farewell with a tanka (a form of Japanese poetry), leaving Takao puzzled as to its origin and meaning. The two continue to encounter each other and socialize in the park on rainy mornings, but never formally introduce themselves. After Yukari expresses an interest in Takao's shoemaking, he decides to make a pair of shoes in her size. With the end of the rainy season, Takao stops visiting the park and focuses on his work.
