Princesa Arete
Background Designer
Confinada en la torre del castillo por su padre, la princesa Arete pasa sus días mirando al mundo exterior por su ventana, observando a la gente en su trabajo. Los caballeros del reino compiten entre ellos para conseguir unos objetos mágicos, hechos por una raza de hechiceros ya desaparecidos, y poder casarse con la princesa y gobernar la tierra. Arete no quiere nada de esto. Ella desea conocer a los habitantes del pueblo y viajar a tierras exóticas que ha visto en los libros que oculta bajo su cama. Un día, el hechicero Boax llega en una increíble máquina de vuelo y le pide matrimonio para así poder convertirla en una princesa digna.
Sweet Spot
Background Designer
Based on a manga by Chuusonji Yutsuko, it tells the story of OL (office lady) extraordinaire and golf fanatic Oyamada Non. She is 23 and works at Major Products in Tokyo's commercial district, Marunouchi. Between bossing her bosses and managing her managers, she finds time to golf, shop, party, and pursue the important things in life, i.e., marriageable men.
Foxes of Chironup
Background Designer
Foxes Ken and Chin become the proud parents of cubs, Koro and Kan, who enjoy a carefree life on the northern Japanese island of Chironup. They befriend a fisherman and his wife but are forced to run for their lives when soldiers on a military exercise decide to take home some fox pelts as souvenirs. A sweet little film that obliquely symbolizes the plight of Japan's aboriginal Ainu people and the northern islands that have been contested with Russia since they were occupied by Stalin's soldiers in 1945.
