Hizukuri
Hizukuri is a passion project that is scheduled to finally come to life this month. The short anime film kicked off a crowdfunding campaign to raise 1 million yen (a little less than $9,000) and reached that goal back in January. The short film will tell the story of a young boy who finds a pair of broken scissors that will turn out to be a truly special discovery. The scissors belong to his father who recently passed away. After learning from his mother that his father was a gardener, the young boy sets out to find the artisan who crafted these scissors so he can repair them. Hizukuri features a beautiful art style and will call on the talents of voice actors Yumi Yamamoto, Kenshirou Nakara, and Nyoko Mizuki to bring this story to life.
An official release date hasn’t been announced but the short film was given an anticipated release date of November 2017 after reaching its crowdfunding goal. Fingers crossed that this deadline will still be met.
