Fuji, and the ancient capital of Kyoto, literally running through Japan. For your travel, the smartEX App will enable you to make a train reservation even from overseas and is recommended.
Shota Sakamoto borrows from traditional Japanese illustration style for his film showcasing the diverse landscape that flies past the train window. “When I first heard about the project, Ukiyoe – Japanese art from the 17th-19th centuries – and platform video games came to mind,” Shota explains. “Also a music video I previously worked on called “_Engawa de Dancehall_”:https://vimeo.com/30251760. I thought I could make something new if I laid out many different kinds of Ukiyoe parts and add the characters in a world of horizontal side-scrolling, similar to a platform game like Super Mario.” #shinkansen #tokyo #osaka #mtfuji
