Small LAND JAZZ (2002)

Overview

While out for a walk, I came across a peaked roof and decided to try moving it like an umbrella. Using the roof as the starting point, I decided on the theme of the work as "buildings," and combined elements other than the roof to create a single work. The title expresses the smallness of Japanese houses, the smallness of the country, and the high population density. 2004 Hiroshima International Animation Festival, nominated for the competition / Recommended work by the Japan Media Arts Festival Animation Division Judging Committee
