Very Japanese, and steeped in quite a bit of local folklore and tradition that domestic viewers probably accept without thinking about it.

The animation is smooth and crisp, sometimes beautifully soft and other times vividly vibrant, and it follows the mood of the story perfectly.

There is so much life & colors that are pushed into the atmosphere of the world & characters designs, making all of the characters choices, tragedies, & decisions all feel so natural & real life. I was taken by every character in this for this short ride

This animated short is about life and death and three people at the crossroads who band together and seek a rumored apparition and learn something about life.
