Open Art Animation

Last night at Nippon Connection I watched the Open Art Animation shorts from Open Art TV. Here’s a run down of what they showed. I will definitely do follow-up pieces on a couple of these films that were real stand-outs, like Sakamoto’s The Dandelion Sister (蒲公英の姉). The films were all presented via projected DVD.

The Fisherman (Saku Sakamoto, 2002, 14 min.)

A surreal vision in which talk, thin human figures hunt oversized fish that swim through the desert. This was the first time that I have seen a CGI film in which they were able to give the effect of a hand-held camera in certain scenes.


Slide 002 (Takahiro Hirata, 2005, 4 min.)

This piece begins with the slow view from the elevator of a skyscraper of a Canadian urban scene. The view contains no hint of the natural world. The only clues to its location are a Canadian flag flying on top of the first building we see, and a Scotia bank symbol on a skyscraper. From the smogginess, I would guess this film was shot in Toronto, but it didn’t contain any famous features of the city (ie no SkyDome, harbour, or Queen Street views). It did not look like it had been shot from the CNTower, but perhaps from a building in the business district. After a couple of vertical trips up and down, the shot then moves horizontally, and soon the filmmaker begins to break up the image into different sections and plays with perspective and geometric patterns in interesting way. My only criticism of this film was that the insistent ‘thump thump thump’ of the soundtrack is quite monotonous and by the end of the film was detracting from my enjoyment of the film. I am guessing that Hirata chose such a soundtrack to create a sense of unease, instead of choosing music that might romanticize the beauty of the ‘slide show’ he was creating on the screen.


Kleenex-man, The Terrorist (Shuhei Shibue, 2005, 1:56 min.)

This film won me over from beginning with its hilarious representation of one of these girls that hand out Kleenex outside major train stations in big cities in Japan. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this (I think much of the audience didn’t get it because I was the only one laughing), in Japan they found that people are reluctant to take flyers that are handed to them on the street. So, advertisers decided to put the ads onto something useful - a small bag of portable tissues – because they found that the public was more likely to take something useful for them. In the flu and allergy seasons (cedar pollen!!!) in Japan, it really is quite a handy thing.

The girl in this film has her hair covering her face and is standing in the countryside instead of an urban setting. Business men and cars still come by, and are dealt with by her in surreal and absurd ways. I haven’t worked out the meaning of the food flying around after she trips a car with a futon (I told you it was surreal) but it is a visual delight and I always enjoy it when art films have a sense of humour.


Piece (Yusuke Koyanagi, 2006, 2:27 min.)

This film plays with digital images and seems to be making a statement about globalization.


Around (Ryu Kato, 2007, 3:12 min.)

I was quite impressed by this surreal cel animation. The way in which figures morph into one another and the soundtrack reminds me of some of the work done by Koji Yamamura and Tomoyasu Murata. This animator shows a lot of promise and I will be keeping an eye out for his future work.


Mr. Cloud and Mr. Rain (Tomoyoshi Joko, 2007, 6:34 min)

This looked like it may have been done using Flash animation. It’s a kind of a fable about the relationship between a man made of cloud and a man made of rain. A beautiful and humorous flight of fancy.


The Kinrakuen (Daisuke Hagiwara, 2007, 6:30 min.)

A very clever film that at first just seems like a graphic playing with i images taken from a wide variety of currencies, but soon transforms itself into a political statement on the relationship between money and political power, war, and imperialism.


The Dandelion Sister (Yusuke Sakamoto, 2007, 20:30 min.)

This claymation film was a delightful discovery. It tells the tale of the difficult relationship between two sisters. The younger sister struggles with her feelings for her older sister, a talented artist who is ill. By adding the surreal touch of the ailing older sister being a dandelion, Sakamoto is able to lesson the sentimentality of the story and transform it into an artistic rendering of the younger sister’s journey through sorrow that ends in her discovering herself as an artist herself. A real gem of a film.


A Story Constructed of 17 Pieces of Space and 1 Maggot
(Isamu Hirabayashi, 2007, Video, 13:32 min.)

An amusing exploration of what it means to be an artist and a human being. The witty voice-over narration leads us through the main protagonists transformation into a maggot who has retained his human consciousness from his former life. Beautifully shot and cleverly written, this film was a pleasure to watch from start to finish.

90s Animation at “Into Animation 8”

Into Animation 8 

 

I first discovered independent Japanese animation while living in Tokyo in the mid-2000s, and through my research have learnt a lot about current and early independent animation, but I haven’t yet had the opportunity to thoroughly research the animation practices of the 1980s and the 1990s in Japan.  So, I was thrilled to discover that JAA members decided to hold a special screening of works form the 1990s at Into Animation 8 earlier this month. 

The selection was presented mostly chronologically, with pauses after every few films to introduce the JAA members responsible for the animation. Each animator featured in this program has their own unique individual animation style.  Highlights for me included Katsushi BOWDA’s renowned rhythmic stop motion work Pulsar, Yūko ASANO’s brilliant stop motion The Life of Ants, IKIF’s experiment with pixilation, Stop Motion with the ZC1000, Yukio HIRUMA’s mixed media self-reflexive work Magical Product and, of course, the beautiful calligraphy style of Azuru ISSHIKI with her 1992 work Wind. It was such a thrill to meet many animators whose work I had admired for years at Into Animation 8, such as Isshiki and Hal FUKUSHIMA, whose work Manabu’s World screened.  

Something very particular to the 80s and 90s were the examples of VIBE IDs: short short animations for station identification that would appear on MTV or other channels after commercial breaks. In effect, they are animated logos for the TV stations.  The 3 examples by Keita KUROSAKA are in his signature body horror / gore horror style and must have made a memorable impact on audiences at the time.  Kōji YAMAMURA’s were also in a visual style unlike any other animators working in Japan at that time. Tatsuyoshi NOMURA’s well known short shorts from the time were also shown. 

The screening closed with the youngest of the filmmakers Saku SAKAMOTO, whose work I first encountered at Nippon Connection in 2008 as part of the Open Art Animation selection.  His film The Fisherman (2002) had made an impression on me and it was nice to see another early work by him.

After the screenings, we moved to the workshop room where Tokumine KIFUNE (IKIF), Yukio HIRUMA (Bunka Gakuen University), Tatsuyoshi NOMURA (Robot, Tama Art University), and Katsushi BOWDA (BOWDAS) held a roundtable discussion about animation in the 1990s.  This included an overview of the technology that they had at their disposal for making animation, the rapid changes in technology, etc.  There was also a discussion about how the JAA played a role in creating events for their works to be screened.  The first of the INTO ANIMATION events was held in the 1990s and began to be held every couple of years up until the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the cycle.  The event was moderated by Jun MIYAMORI (宮森潤), who had put together a terrific Excel timeline that he shared with us on screen.

Japanese Animation Special 15:

Taku Furukawa Retrospective (Screening and Talk)

Taku Furukawa is one of the Sōgetsu generation of animators who came to prominence at the Sōgetsu Art Centre animation festivals of the 1960s and 1970s.  Initially mentored by indie animation pioneer Yōji Kuri, Furukawa soon founded his own studio and developed an animation style all his own.  He has a caricature style that is influenced by renowned New Yorker caricaturist Saul Steinberg, with a playful approach to animation that is one of a kind.  In addition to being a member of ASIFA Japan, he is currently the president of the JAA (Japan Animation Association), which he took over after the passing of stop motion master Kihachirō Kawamoto.  In addition to his independently produced works, Furukawa is famous for his numerous contributions to the long-running NHK series Minna no Uta as well as his commercial work.  He is visiting professor at Tokyo Polytechnic where he has mentored many students, including two of my favourite animators – Hiroco Ichinose and Tomoyoshi Joko, aka Decovocal.  Earlier this year, Furukawa’s former students made a tribute to him called Moving Colors (2016).  Click on titles below to read reviews of individual films by Furukawa.

Japanese Animation Special 16：Contemporary Directors Collection ①

This selection features a cross section of top contemporary Japanese animators with established careers.  Hyogo-born, Kansai-raised Maya Yoneshō is based in Germany and is famous for her mixed media approach to animation.  Her work shows us that animation can be a kind of international language and with her workshop students she has created a series of Daumen Reisen (literally “Thumb Trips” – a term suggested to Yoneshō by an Austrian friend) – animated post cards against city backdrops based on flip books (Daumenkino/"Thumb cinema" in German).  Each of these short films is an hommage to the places where the workshops are taking place.  The first such film she made by herself – Vienna Mix, or Wiener Wuast in the local, Viennese dialect.

Shin Hosokawa is a graduate of Tama Art University (Tamabi) who specialises in stop motion animation.  Hiroco Ichinose and her husband Tomoyoshi Joko (Joko is not included in this screening) are graduates of Tokyo Polytechnic University where they were mentored by Taku Furukawa (see above).  They currently work under the collective title Decovocal making commercials and TV programmes.  Kaoru Maehara is a graduate of Kyushu Visual Arts College. Like Hosokawa, Kanna Iida is also a Tamabi grad but she specialises in drawn animation. 

Reiko Yokosuka is a talented sumi-e (ink brush) artist who makes animation using her modern take on traditional sumi-e style.  Read her profile here or check out her homepage.  Kunio Kato was the first Japanese person to win the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.  A graduate of Tamabi he works for Robot Communications.  Taruto Fuyama is a graduate of Keio University and is known for the development of his own stop motion animation software called Koma Koma as well as his stop motion animation workshops.  Frank, an adapation of Jim Woodring’s cult comic series Frank, is Fuyama’s best known work.  Kei Oyama studied animation at Tokyo Zokei and at the Image Forum Institute of the Moving Image.  He is known for his unusual style of using scanned flesh for the textures in his often surreal films.  Hand Soap is his most acclaimed film to date.  Kei Takahashi has a BA in Oil Painting from Musashino and a graduate degree in Video Art.

Japanese Animation Special 17：Contemporary Directors Collection ②

This selection features more top contemporary Japanese animators with established careers, as well as a couple of lesser known names.  Ayaka Nakata is a graduate of Tokyo Zokei who makes independent animation and commercials. In addition to animation, Yuki Sakitani is a videographer and visual effects composite artist.

Atsushi Wada is one of Japan’s top independent animators.  He is a self taught animator who refined his skills first at Image Forum, then in the first class of Tokyo University of the Arts’s (Geidai) graduate programme in animation.  He has won many international prizes for his work, most notably the Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 2012.  Learn more about him in my review of his CALF DVD and in this 2010 interview.  Wataru Uekusa is also a Geidai grad, as is stop motion animator Mari Miyazawa (Geidai 2014).

With her minimalist aesthetic, Yoriko Mizushiri has been a popular addition to international festival programmes in recent years.  Mizushiri studied at Joshibi University of Art and Design.  Tama Art University (Tamabi) grad Yoko Kuno has been wowing audiences both online and at festivals with her innovative animated music videos for Cuushe. 

Arisa Wakami dabbles in a wide variety of animation techniques from sand animation to stop motion.  Tamabi grad Mirai Mizue has also tried out a number of techniques but is mostly famous for his “cell” animation style.  Learn more here.  Daiki Aizawa is also a Tamabi grad.  Loop Pool was his graduate work.   He mostly makes digital content for various clients – I am guessing he was included in this line up because he is a member of ASIFA Japan, of which festival director Sayoko Kinoshita is also president.   In preparing these blog posts I have noticed that most members of ASIFA Japan appear to have been included in the Hiroshima 2016 screenings.  

I am not familiar with the work of Takashi and Motoko Tokuyama, but their 1992 work Paralysis, which was shot on 16mm screened at the 2015 PIA festival.  They do not have a web presence at all so it is a bit curious that they were included in this particular selection instead of one of the "history" sections.

Mai Tominaga (Tamabi) is a multi-talented artist who has also directed some quirky feature films such as Wool 100% (ウール100％, 2006), Have a Nice Day (ハヴァ、ナイスデー, 2006) and one of my faves Rinco’s Restaurant (食堂かたつむり, 2010).  Her animation has featured on the NHK and she has also directed commercials and live action TV drama.

                                                                                                                                       

Seiji Shiota is a freelance artist based in Osaka.  Tohru Patrick Awa is a character / concept designer who was born in Santa Monica but raised in Tokyo and has been based in California since 2001.  He has worked for Disney and Warner Brothers (Learn more at Japan Cinema).  The Fly Band! is a short work Shiota and Awa made for Polygon Pictures early in their careers.  It won the Prix Ars Electronica 1999.

Japanese Animation Special 18：Contemporary Directors Collection ③

Keita Onishi has an MA in Design from Geidai.  He is known for his video and audio installation works.  Koichiro Tsujikawa makes commercials and music videos in addition to his independent work.  He often mixes live action with animation.  Isao Nishigori is a visual artist who does music videos, installations and other works pairing visuals with music.  Atsushi Makino studied graphic design in Prague before doing a graduate degree in animation at Geidai (2011).   He works as an animation director for Eallin Japan. 

I’m not sure why Ko Nakajima is in this selection.  He should have been put into a programme with experimental animators of his own generation (Nobuhiro Aihara, Takashi Ito, et al.)  – he began experimenting with animation in the 1960s.   His work focuses on technological development and environmental concerns.  

The Higa brothers (Kazutetsu and Yukinori Higa) are from Okinawa.  They are known for their passion for special effects (they are huge fans of Ray Harryhausen and David W. Allen) and puppet animation. Yūichi Itō and Takuya Ishida are two of the top stop motion animators working in Japan today.  Mainly known for his clay and puppet animation, Itō works with a variety of media.  In addition to his work for the NHK and his independent works, Itō is a professor at Geidai.  Ishida is known as an expert in clay animation.

Acclaimed 3DCG animator Hiroyuki Okui is a graduate of Musashino.  I am not familiar with Yoshiyuki Okada, his co-director on Cave, and couldn't find any inforamtion about him online, but they jointly won recognition for the film at Hiroshima 1994.

Japanese Animation Special 19：Contemporary Directors Collection ④

This selection of contemporary directors features a mixture of generations, all of whom have become associated with certain styles of animation from CG to hand made puppet animation.

Hiromi Habuto is Nara-based CG designer and director.  Saku Sakamoto is a Tamabi grad who is a freelance CG animator.  I was someone who was slow to warm to CG animation, but his 2002 work The Fisherman made an impression on me at my first Nippon Connection in 2008.

Yoshinao Satoh (or Satō) is a Yokohama-based video game maker who makes terrific experimental animation.  His film Newspaper (watch here) was popular with Nippon Connection spectators in 2015 where it screened in the Everything is Visible programme.  He is one of my favourite artists at the moment.  Check out some of his works here.

Kotarō Satō is a University of Tsukuba graduate who specializes in computer graphics design.  In addition to his short animation works he has taught animation at Tamabi and since 2009 at Kanto Gakuin.  He has co-written two textbooks about computer graphics and digital moving images.

Dino Satō began his artistic career with the study of architecture, but retrained as a CG animator.   His innovative works have screened widely at international festivals.  In addition to his freelance animation work, Satō splits his time teaching at Musashino Art University and Kyoto University of Art and Design

Nozomi Nagasaki was the first woman to win the Noburō Ōfuji Award for innovation in animation for her film Home Alone (1996).  She has her own studio where she directs and animates stop motion using a variety of techniques including puppets, clay, objects and cutouts.   In addition to her independent animation Nagasaki has made animation for commercials, children’s television, movies, and video packages.  She directed a film about stop motion animation

Pecora’ped (ペコラペッド) are a female animation team whom I met at Hiroshima 2014.  In addition to their animation they hand make jewellery and other tie-in products using their unique designs and characters.  Saeko Akagi is a Musashino grad who joined Robot Communications after graduation in 2005 as a commercial director.  This year, she left the company to concentrate on freelance storyboarding under the name Kibichu.  Yuta Sukegawa is a CG animator.  His work The Light can be viewed in full on his Vimeo page.  Kiyoshi Nishimoto is a professor at Musashino who specializes in Visual Communication Design.  He has been a freelance animator since 1981.
