YesAsia Editorial Description

When people think of Japan's animation greats, auteurs like Miyazaki Hayao, Oshii Mamoru, and Tezuka Osamu easily come to mind. Though less well known overseas, Kihachiro Kawamoto is a name that surely belongs with the nation's best for his stunning work in stop motion puppet animation over the last four decades. After studying under both the legendary Mochinaga Tadahito and Czech maestro Jiri Trnka, Kihachiro developed his own individualistic style, drawing heavily from traditional Noh, Bunraku, and Kabuki theater for a haunting and uniquely Japanese aesthetic.

This English-subtitled release contains 11 of Kihachiro's short films, from 1968's Hana-Ori, his first work after returning from the Czech Republic, to 1999's Ibara Hime matawa Nemuri Hime. The collection covers both his signature puppet animation and kirigami (cut-out) animation, providing an essential collage of the master animator's visionary works.

Kihachiro Kawamoto Work Collection comes with the following shorts:

Hana-Ori ("Breaking of Branches is Forbidden") - 14min, 1968

Kenju Giga - 8min, 1970

Oni ("Demon") - 8min, 1972

Tabi Complete Version - 12min, 1973

Tabi Re-edited Version - 4min, 1973
