From a Stone

The anime follows a graduate student from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Animation, as they delve into a unique artistic project. The genesis of this project lies four years in the past, during a walk in Ome. It was then that the animator encountered a stone, measuring approximately 30cm across, which immediately captivated their imagination. This chance encounter ignited a desire to understand and represent the stone's essence. The core of the animation centers on the pursuit of this image, exploring its potential and ultimately seeking its "ultimate end." The project represents a personal and artistic exploration, driven by the initial spark of inspiration from the found stone.
