Viewing Notes

Another really delightful short from Takeshi Yashiro that utilizes stop motion animation to record a fairy that only appears in the Spring done in documentary style. It’s a nice depiction of how nature is a big part of JP culture and how life is connected to it. This is part of the current JFF Theater programming.
