Synopsis

A festival cut/compilation of the animated segments made by Yamamura Kouji for a TV documentary by NHK, Kojiki Girl Travelogue (古事記ガール日向路を旅する).

Edit

Background

The four animation sequences written and directed by Yamamura are set in Hyuuga and concern themselves with the Shinto creation myth and the emergence of gods. After screening on TV and NHK on Demand, the sequences were edited into a festival version under the title The Hyuga episode of Kojiki (古事記日向篇/ Kojiki Hyūgahen, Japan, NHK, 2013) and in French, Récit des temps anciens : épisodes de Hyûga. The festival edition competed at Ottawa, MONSTRA, and Animafest. It also made the Jury Selection at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival.

The 4 episodes that compose The Hyuga Episode of Kojiki are:

#1 The Cleansing (禊/ Misogi, 3’17”)
#2 Sun Goddess Amaterasu (天照大御神/ Amaterasu Ookami, 2’11”)
#3 Flowering Tree (木花之佐久夜毘売/ Konohananosakuya-bime, 2’31”)
#4 Umisachi and Yamasachi (海佐知山佐知/ Umisachi Yamasachi, 3’30”)
