Tamano Visual Poetry Collection: Nagisa‘s Bicycle
Visual Effects Compositor
Three short stories, all about bicycles and/or bicycle racing. Specifically, keirin track bicycle racing. An aging cyclist is too young to quit racing, but too old to keep up. A friendship between two old friends would fall apart, if it wasn’t for the keirin race. In between, a magical realist fable about the bond between a woman and her bike.
