What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a still from the NHK World documentary "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki." The white-haired subject, in a plaid short-sleeved shirt and glasses, bends low over a ceramic bowl and lifts a long pull of noodles to his mouth with chopsticks. Behind him are curtained arched windows, a small lamp, and a vase of white flowers on the counter. No subtitle appears. It pairs with the "Better eat something" frame in the same run. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
