Mizuki Takanashi

2024 release

Compilation of the four short films in the Extraneous Matter series.

A British comedy in Japanese clothes, with central character Ginji at once earnest farm boy and entrepreneurial savant, finding ingenious and entertaining solutions in a timeless tale of business and found family.

The show blends a fascination with historical samurai armor with elements of sensuality. A gravure idol initially appears in a full replica of samurai armor, removing pieces one by one, while the show provides insights into the era and the samurai who used it.
