Kawamoto & Okamoto
Japanese animations 1: Tadanari Okamoto
Japanese animations 2: Kihachiro Kawamoto
Kihachiro Kawamoto's (b.1925) stylish puppet animations were
so popular at the Tampere Film Festival last year that the screening gets
a rerun this year, supplemented with some new-found gems. The Shoot
without Shooting (1988) is a tale of an archer, and Briar-Rose or
The Sleeping Beauty (1990) is a beautiful princess fairytale, one of
Kawamoto's most recent works. Dojoji Temple and House of Flame are based
on ancient Japanese horror mythology. The elegant works of Kihachiro Kawamoto,
the great master of Japanese puppet animation, form a fabulous continuation
to the centuries-old traditions of Japanese art and no-theatre. |

Tadanari Okamoto (1931-1990) worked with Kawamoto. His charming
puppet films turn the old Japanese legends and tales into images. At the
Tampere Film Festival you have the chance to see Towards the Rainbow
(1977), The Magic Fox 1982), and A Well-ordered Restaurant
(1991), which was finished by Kawamoto after Okamoto's death. |
