A convenience store in a rural town. Everyone who gathered there liked to drink the same beverage. A strange incident begins to occur in that town, where people disappear, leaving only their clothes behind. The sheriff spots a suspicious man on a full-moon night, but... A music video for Toma Baba’s “PRIME,” combining paper three-dimensional puppetry by Shotaro Kitada with cutout animation by Moji Tsuchiya.

Film direction for BRUTUS Furniture craftsman Yuuichi Hamada works out of a workshop in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture. He recreates world-renowned chairs, mainly those born in the 20th century, as one-fifth-scale models. In many cases, his work begins with drawing up plans by hand from photographs and reference materials. Not only the shape, but also the texture and color of materials such as wood, metal, and fabric are reproduced so faithfully that at first glance, you would never know they were models. When he once visited Hans Wegner in Denmark, Wegner reportedly praised one piece, saying, “This is not a model. It is the real thing.” With those words in his heart, he continues today to create the next work, one chair at a time.
