KIGO animated film
a film by Izumi Yoshida
KIGO
The film Kigo, depicting phenomena of nature specific for each of the four seasons, is an abstract visualization of Japanese poems called Haiku. Haiku employed in Kigo presents the value of common, everyday things whose beauty is the source of one’s fascination. Evanescence and transience are features of the transforming universe. The universe, in turn, influences feelings, emotions, and admiration for the fleeting beauty.The film Kigo, depicting phenomena of nature specific for each of the four seasons, is an abstract visualization of Japanese poems called Haiku.
