Animated film inspired by ningyo-sukui (doll scooping game), a popular attraction at community events.

Animated robots, witch girls and other characters appearing in all kinds of stories are all mixed together in a tank of water, and as a result of a continuous transmutation process, they eventually turn into anonymously symbolic male and female figures, while their original narratives are dissolved.

SHINCHIKA

Creative Unit

Creative unit combining original graphics, visuals, lyrics and music to a unique form of entertainment. Founded in 2002 by Tsuyoshi Hisakado, Yosuke Fujino, Rinshiro Fujiki, Shimpei Yoshikawa and Toki Katsumura, inspired by the "Shinsekai Kokusai Chika Gekijo" theatre in Osaka's Shinsekai amusement district. They assemble their works by connecting and editing fragmentary images born out of each member's recollections, living environments and daily activities. The results are little episodes that reflect exquisitely the bizarre fantasy world of Shinchika. The group showcased their work in an exhibition at Ota Fine Arts, Tokyo, in 2008.
