What You Mean By 'peace'

I Intend To Work Until The Day I Die. I Retired From Feature-length Films But Not From Animation. Self-indulgent Animation. It's Nice That I Have The Mini-theater In The Museum. Most Of The Museum Visitors Attend The Mini-theater Screenings And We've Never Had A Complaint About The Quality Of The Films. I'd Like To Continue To Make Films That Leave The Audience Satisfied, But I Also Think It's Pointless Unless I Offer Them The Kind Of Animation They Can't Get Anywhere Else. They're Fun To Do. They're Short So It's Less Stressful.

I'd Like More Of The World Go Back To Being Wild.

In My Grandparents' Time, It Was Believed That Spirits Existed Everywhere - In Trees, Rivers, Insects, Wells, Anything. My Generation Does Not Believe This, But I Like The Idea That We Should All Treasure Everything Because Spirits Might Exist There, And We Should Treasure Everything Because There Is A Kind Of Life To Everything.

The Characters Are Born From Repetition, From Repeatedly Thinking About Them. I Have Their Outline In My Head. I Become The Character And As The Character I Visit The Locations Of The Story Many, Many Times. Only After That I Start Drawing The Character, But Again I Do It Many, Many Times, Over And Over. And I Only Finish Just Before The Deadline.

See With Eyes Unclouded By Hate.
