In Kō-Fū, Touch Me transformed everyday snapshots into a world of intense luminosity by applying frame-by-frame optical processing using an optical printer he made himself. Kō-Fū translates as “Shining Breeze” and refers to “a scene of rice fields just after a typhoon has gone, when it is still windy and the leaves of rice are waving in the stream of wind with raindrops which are shining by reflecting the sunlight." The repetitive, flickering images and minimalist music create a psychedelic trip effect in this film, which is made up of short, high-contrast black-and-white footage processed through precise frame-by-frame optical processing.

Created by Shochiku’s cultural film department on behalf of the Ministry of Education, this film tells an ironic anecdote juxtaposing the fate of a cooper’s son with that of the son of a middle-class salaried worker, and championing the virtues of honest poverty and diligence. An educational film preaching a fable-like message, it is however filled with humorous scenes that offset the film’s didacticism. Original director Yoshio Nishio fell ill and was replaced halfway through the shooting by the admired filmmaker Hiroshi Shimizu; though finished in May 1931, the film was shelved and never given a general release. Shot as a silent film, this version of the film features musical accompaniment, sound effects, and a spoken commentary track by a benshi narrator, thus bearing witness to the variety of forms taken by sound film during this transitional period.
