A folktale about a parent and child from long ago.

Set in Japan during the economic boom of the 1980s. One day, a 1960s-style furniture television that had been used for many years is thrown away in a junkyard. It tries to carry on... An original animated tragicomedy that parallels the TV’s bizarre fate with that of a human life. Winner of the Excellence Award in the Animation Division of the Japan Media Arts Festival. Winner of the Audience Award and the Asian Light Award at the 2013 Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival.

Promotional video for “HalfDive,” a VR device developed by Diver-X, designed with use while lying down in mind. With an eye toward overseas expansion, we translated it into a cyber and distinctly Japanese visual style.
