After being betrayed by his peers and lost both his father and his right arm, legendary craftsman "Jingoro Hidari" is on a journey of revenge with his partner "Sleeping Cat" and his mechanical prosthetic arm. Finally, Jingoro faces one of his adversaries "Inumaru" in a fight to the death...
This is a pilot version of the stop-motion samurai film that tells the story of "Jingoro Hidari," a legendary Edo-era craftsman. All the characters are made by wood and animated frame by frame, just like how Jingoro's wooden sculptures came to life in his many anecdotes. We hope you enjoy this film, which mixes dynamic actions as seen in Japanimation, and the rich analog expressions of stop-motion animation.
Our intention is to use this pilot film as a starting point to create a full length feature film. We have started activities to raise the necessary partners and funding to achieve this goal.

伝説の名工「左甚五郎」は、仲間の裏切りによって育ての親と右腕を失い、
カラクリ義手と相棒の「眠り猫」を連れ復讐の旅を続けている。
そしてついに、仇の一人である「犬丸」と対峙するのであった...。
この作品は、江戸時代に存在したとされる伝説の名工「左甚五郎」の物語を描いた
ストップモーション時代劇のパイロット・フィルムです。
左甚五郎にまつわる様々な逸話と同じように
「木彫りの人形にコマ撮りで命を吹き込む」ことで映像化しています。
ジャパニメーションのようなダイナミックなアクションと、
ストップモーションのアナログな世界観を大胆にミックスした、
かつて観たことのないような映像をお楽しみください。
このパイロットフィルムを出発点に、最終的には長編映画を完成させたいと考えています。
その実現のために必要な各種パートナーや資金を調達するための活動を始めております。
