Description:

Kihachiro Kawamoto, one of Japan's "Gods of Animation," is releasing a beautiful 4K restored Blu-ray version of his many national treasure class works! Kihachiro Kawamoto, an indispensable legend and god in the history of Japanese animation, will celebrate the 10th anniversary of his death in 2020. Kawamoto's masterpieces, including "Dojoji" and "Hiyaku," which have won numerous awards at film festivals in Japan and abroad, have been restored in 4K in ultra high definition and rich colors, capturing all the information recorded in the original negative films. The 4K restored version will be released on May 8, 2021 (Distributor: Child Film). The 4K restored version was produced by IMAGICA Entertainment Media Service, Inc. under the supervision of the cameraman Minoru Tamura, who shot many of Kawamoto's films, and other staff and related people, and was released from the original 35mm (only "Hana Ori" was 16mm) negatives! The audio was digitized from the sound negatives or cine tapes of each film, restored and mastered by world-renowned sound engineer Seigen Ono, and recorded in uncompressed 96kHz/24-bit linear PCM audio.
