The World of Mamoru Hosoda and Studio Chizu
When The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo) debuted in theatres in 2006, it transformed from a modest art-house release into a global cultural phenomenon. Directed by Mamoru Hosoda, the film updated Yasutaka Tsutsui’s classic science fiction novel into a poignant, summer-drenched coming-of-age story that captured the fleeting brilliance of youth. It swept major accolades, including the Japan Academy Film Prize for Animation of the Year, and established Hosoda as a primary auteur of modern Japanese animation.
After doing well with his first movie Hosoda went on to make some amazing films like Summer Wars, Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, the movie Mirai that was nominated for an Oscar and Belle. At his animation company, Studio Chizu, Hosoda always makes movies that’re about important things like family, nature and how people grow emotionally. He uses fashioned drawing techniques and combines them with new computer methods to make his movies look really cool.
The big anniversary show at Creative Museum Tokyo is like a collection of all the work Hosoda has done over the years. When you go there you can see things that’re really rare like the original plans for his movies and the pictures he drew to design his characters. They also have cool background pictures and fun things that you can play with. All these things help you understand how Hosoda makes his movies. The show also tells you a lot, about how he made The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and how that movie influenced the big movies he made later on.
Why Experience The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Live in Tokyo
Exhibitions that are this big in Tokyo are known for the way they pull you in and the way they focus on every thing. Seeing the art of Mamoru Hosoda in the middle of Japan gives a link to the places and looks that inspired his movies. People can move through the put together rooms at the Creative Museum Tokyo and look at the fine lines and bright colors made by the artists at Studio Chizu. The art is shown in clear physical form showing details that you can’t see as well on a regular TV or phone. Also there are items and limited prints that you can only get at the event. This makes the exhibition a must-visit for people who love anime and for those who like to travel and learn about culture when they are in Tokyo, during the summer.
