Karappo Katatsumuri

Set against a backdrop of gentle pastoral life, this short animation explores themes of belonging and connection through symbolic imagery. The narrative centers around a character navigating a world where feelings and relationships are represented by tangible objects – empty containers longing to be filled, or fragmented pieces seeking wholeness. Visually distinct and employing a soft, almost dreamlike aesthetic, the work utilizes simple yet evocative animation to convey complex emotional states. It offers a contemplative experience, inviting viewers to consider the subtle ways we form bonds and find meaning within everyday moments. The piece emphasizes quiet observation and understated storytelling, focusing on internal landscapes rather than external action.
