The World of Young Japanese Animation Auteur Tomoyasu Murata (日本を代表する若手アニメーション作家の世界)


K’s Cinema in Shinjuku is running a two-week retrospective of the works of animator Tomoyasu Murata from September 3rd until the 16th. Murata is a prolific animator and artist. One of the top puppet animators of his generation, Murata also experiments with a variety of animation techniques including cutouts, montage, and computer animation. K’s Cinema will be screening three different programs of his animated shorts. Read the profile that I wrote for Midnight Eye to learn more about Tomoyasu Murata.
