[KineJapan] Japanese animation centenary site

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

A very important site has just opened. The National Film Center in Japan has opened a site celebrating the 100th anniversary of animation in Japan. The site features 64 animated films made between 1917 and 1941 that can be viewed in full, some with English subtitles (the site itself, however, is in Japanese and it doesn't seem to work on all browsers). You can see films by such greats as Ofuji Noburo, Seo Mitsuo, Masaoka Kenzo, Murata Yasuji, Yamamoto Sanae, Kitayama Seitaro, and Kouchi Jun’ichi. There are even some of the abstract animation films of Ogino Shigeji. A special section features the work of the pioneer animator Ofuji Noburo. The NFC is far behind other archives, such as the Korean Film Archive, in making available its films for streaming, but it is good to see this first step.
