Pre-WWII Japanese Animation
A very interesting video posted on Vimeo by Josh Wagner:
We found this reel among my grandfather’s things after he died. Buzz Wagner was born and raised in Kariuzawa, Japan. He lived there in the 20′s and 30′s and came back to the states just before the War. His father was a missionary and a film nut. We’ve got some great footage from his life that I am currently assembling into a documentary. This animation must have been something my great grandfather picked up along the way.
However, we don’t have a clue what this is from or who created it. If anyone has any information about this film, please get in contact with me. Thanks!!
