Metamorphose

When one butterfly falls, a wave is born from it, the wave becomes a bubble, and various lives are born and disappear.

GAKI Biwa-houshi

The gaki is a "biwa" player of the ogre, who plays the instrument well. When he starts to play it at the veranda, surroundings transform into the profound and remote world. Characters come out from the electric wire and then they start to dance to the melody on the line. The music turn into the wind and the wind calls the waves. The gaki integrates with the waves.

Winter Days

Winter Days is a 2003 animated film, directed by Kihachirō Kawamoto. It is based on one of the renku (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō. The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material – the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names of animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute (Yuriy Norshteyn's, though, is nearly two minutes long).

Nanja Monja Obake
