This is a period piece and vampire legend by Gotouge Koyoharu. The animation work is especially outstanding. Beautiful sounds, images and words. I think the style of the work is as if it expresses the thoughts of the Japanese people in a live action play.
Japonism
Anime and manga are gaining international popularity. Japanese culture is different from both the West and Asian countries, and has its own unique color. And foreigners who visit Japan on vacation are sensitive to something spiritual about Japan.
Oni no Kiri” is an example of a work that incorporates traditional Japanese elements and culture, known as Japonism, into art and entertainment. The work reflects Japanese folklore and historical elements, yet is easy to understand.
It also depicts the past when demons were human and under what circumstances they became demons. By expressing the ethical dilemmas faced by individual characters and the complexity of human relationships, it can be said to depict a detailed Japanese sensibility.
On the other hand, it also strongly expresses the elements of good, evil, and justice, which can be easily integrated with Western values of identification and absolutes. This work will help foreigners to understand Japan.
