I was saddened to learn recently that the great stop-motion animator Kihachiro Kawamoto passed away on August 23rd of this year, at the age of 85.
Though he studied and worked alongside the giants of Czech stop-motion, he retained a deep love of traditional Japanese puppet technique and theater.
His films were masterful, compelling and beautiful. I've posted a few before (Farce Anthropo-Cynique, The Demon, and The House of Flame.)
R.I.P.
