In a world where many nations are edging closer to war, our own may be no exception.
By daring to unravel how wars are made—how nations systematically lead their people into conflict—we may begin to understand how peace can be built. In this relay-style short animation, a powerful story unfolds as it is passed from one animator to the next, each adding their own voice to a collective vision.

A tribute to “The Hand” made by Jiří Trnka. The year “The Hand” was released was also the year I was born.  

"Wild Rose" embodies the soul of Katsuo Takahashi, who lost his family in the Nagasaki atomic bombing. It has received a lot of awards at home and abroad; National Arts Festival Excellence Award of Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs, the Minister of Education Award, the Leonide Moguy Award, and others. Having been invited to many international film festival such as India, Tehran, Italy, Switzerland, it has been recorded in Spain's "100 Best Animations of the 20th Century,"  in Japan's "100 Recommended Cultural Properties of the Half Century after World War II" and "100 Best Media Films of  Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs." Even now, more than half a century after it was produced, "Wild Rose"'s message of love and peace remains undiminished, and it conveys the futility of war to the world.

An animation short expressing "NO WAR” through a kind-hearted teddy bear. During the Gulf War and the Iraq War, I had the shocking experience of watching the live images of the war on TV for the first time, as if it were a video game, and that led me to create this short film. Who could have predicted today’s situation, almost 20 years since the production?

“Yin-Yang” is a story inspired by an Iranian folktale, rooted in the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. It follows two contrasting characters—Shar (Yin) and Kheir (Yang)—as they journey together. When they arrive at a desert, Kheir (Yang) runs out of water and asks Shar (Yin), his companion, to share some. However, Shar refuses to give him any water, and a growing tension begins to form between them.

An animation documentary describing the tragic consequences of the A-bomb explosion in Hiroshima, on August 6th, 1945. The flash of the A-bomb, 100 times brighter than the sun, is called "PICA", and the enormous shock wave, which came right after the flash, is called "DON". This film was the first attempt in the world to deal with such a sensitive subject as Hiroshima, using animation media, and it also served as a trigger for the establishment of Hiroshima International Animation Festival (endorsed by ASIFA) in 1985, which was held continuously until 2020.

Behind the image of nuclear energy as a symbol of immense power lies the tragic reality of the hibakusha (atomic bomb survivors) and the effects of radioactive substances said to endure for hundreds of thousands of years. In Japan—scarred by four experiences of radiation exposure at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Daigo Fukuryu Maru, and Fukushima— tiny Godzillas may still be swarming throughout the country.
