THE WORLD'S FIRST MULTI-TOUCH BOOK ON JAPANESE ANIMATION IS HERE
Director Isao Takahata’s Masterpiece Anime “Gauche the Cellist” Multi-Touch book, Now on Sale
TOKYO - Dec. 2014 - OH Production and Onebilling Inc. have recently released the world’s first Multi-Touch book of Japanese animation.
The companies have together created a unique art book to showcase the marvels of “Gauche the Cellist,” a film directed by Isao Takahata who has directed feature films such as “The Tale of Princess Kaguya” and “Grave of the Fireflies.” The Multi-Touch book features are implemented to the max so that readers can enjoy videos, pictures, and texts related to the film.
The animated feature film, “Gauche the Cellist” (1982) was independently produced by OH Production, a small and long-established production company that has supported many Miyazaki and Takahata films. At the time, it was rare to have a small production company to produce an independent film.
“Gauche the Cellist” (1982) is a Japanese animated feature film based on a story with the same title written by Kenji Miyazawa, a popular children’s story writer. This all-time animated masterpiece took six full years to create by three staff members: Director Isao Takahata, known for works such as “Heidi, Girl of the Alps”, “My Neighbors the Yamadas”, “The Tale of Princess Kaguya”, animator Toshitsugu Saida, who supported Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki in works such as “Jarinko Chie” and “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”, and front runner of Japanese anime art Takamura Mukuo, who was involved in works including “Galaxy Express 999” and “Sailormoon”.
In 1981, the film received the Ofuji Noburo Award.
The Multi-Touch book includes a collection of essays written by the knowledgeable director Isao Takahata, a variety of pictures including cute illustrations and beautiful art boards, a movie trailer, and all issues of the self-published newsletter, “Kakko Tsushin”, issued back then by OH Production.
In addition, the book features a unique function to enjoy the animation experience, the Sakuga (key animation) Viewing Feature. By using this Sakuga Viewing Feature, you can tap and seamlessly view a series of pictures forming the actual scenes in Gauche through the valuable key frames and in-betweens that are still preserved.
