An independently produced work created for the university graduation exhibition, “The 18th Nagoya University of the Arts Graduation and Master’s Exhibition.” In an era dominated by digital media, this work explores the possibilities of blending film-like expression with analog, physically tangible presence in motion graphics, where plain, minimalist visual styles have become the norm.

Music video for "Episode X," a song provided by Ayase and performed by Ado as the theme song for the film Doctor-X the Movie.

"Hotta" and "Hisaya Daishi," who attend a high school in Arimatsu Town. Hotta notices that indigo paint has gotten on Hisaya's fingernails. Hisaya's family has run an Arimatsu shibori shop for generations, and he helps with the work. As the conversation unfolds, they end up making an Arimatsu shibori yukata. I made this work because I wanted to tell a story about the local culture of Nagoya. It is a story about the dyeing technique called Arimatsu shibori. The artwork was drawn on paper and colored using Photoshop.
