In 1974, Ogawa Production moves from Sanrizuka to Magino Village in Yamagata. In 1987, he completed Magino Village which begins with a narration “We lived in Magino village for thirteen years and grew rice.” Subtitled “Sundial engraved with Millennium,” this monumental work is a compilation of methods ranging from interviews to ethnographic participatory observations, archaeological investigations, and dramatic reproductions. Ogawa Shinsuke not only captures farming with the natural or scientific documentary language but also puts a lot of effort into conveying the diverse history and culture of the village. Particularly in the reenactment of The story of Horikiri Kannon and The Origin of Itsutsutomoe Shrine with the direct participation of professional actors and the villagers. By arranging various scenes produced over 13 years on a single timeline, Shinsuke Ogawa creates a non-linear and multi-layered temporality in which the town's past and present coexist. It is a work that opens a new possibility of documentary that goes beyond the current objective record.​
