SAIGO

Sinopsis

Light animation by TOCHKA. Takamori Saigo, born in Kagoshima in 1828, is known as the last true samurai. He committed harakiri in the Battle of Shiroyama in 1877. No photos of him exist, only etchings and drawings. The directors visited Saigo's descendants to ask for his facial features and characteristics for this film. Now Saigo has come back to life in animation, wandering around towns and Sakurajima, an active composite volcano in Kagoshima. This is an experimental animation done using penlights.
