Description:
Oldest known work of animation from Japan. It consists of a series of cartoon images on fifty frames of a celluloid strip and lasts three seconds at sixteen frames per second. the frames were not produced by photographing the images, but rather were impressed onto film using a stencil. This was done with a kappa-ban, a device for stencilling magic lantern slides. The images were in red and black on a strip of 35 mm film whose ends were fastened in a loop for continuous viewing.Added to timeline:
