20 x 25 min. Nature Clean, M/E + Japanese, Japanese script Watch the trailer 2020 ©Yoshitoki Oima, KODANSHA / NHK, NEP Current Affairs / Affairs Current From the author of A Silent Voice comes an all-new fantasy History about a “boy” and his eternal journey

In the beginning, a “sphere” is thrown into Earth. It can do two things: change into the shape of the thing that stimulates “it;” and come back to life after death. “It” morphs from sphere to pebble, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a Human Stories newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, “it” becomes FUSHI, and through encounters with human kindness, he not only gains survival skills, but grows as a “person.” Awaiting FUSHI on his journey are fierce battles with his enemy NOKKER, and cruel partings with the people he loves. Yet FUSHI must continue his eternal quest, bearing the pain of living with the fortitude of someone who has found his path.

The breathtaking coral reef in the sea of Amami, off Kagoshima in southern Japan, is a world-class gem. It is home to 400 species of coral, where an abundance of colorful fish find shelter. Also inhabiting the area is the newly discovered white-spotted pufferfish, noted for its peculiar behavior of creating sand circles on the seafloor. The reef is a miracle in other ways, too. 15 years ago, a devastating rise in water temperatures and damage from coral-eating starfish pushed the reef to near total collapse. Now, following a recovery with speed that surprised everyone, the corals’ great spawning is about to begin.

China is in turmoil in 1921 when renowned Japanese writer Ryunosuke Akutagawa (author of Rashomon) visits Shanghai as a newspaper correspondent. He’d grown up reading classic Chinese novels as a child, but what he sees is not the utopia he had imagined. He finds the military scuffles, the Western and Japanese occupation, and the local residents living in abject poverty all shocking. It is a despondent Akutagawa that seeks solace in the spirit of the great nation. From intellectual revolutionaries to courtesans surviving in the back alleys, each encounter affects him in unexpected ways...
