The Heart Sutra

2010 · 6 min · Animation

'There is a fusuma (paper sliding door) work based on the Hannya Shingyo (Prajna-paramita Hrdaya Sutram) by woodblock print artist Shikou Munakata. He wrote the sutra in one go without any rough drafts or scketches and the result is a very powerful and compelling work. Ever since I first saw this fusuma I have had a special interest in the Hannya Shingyo... ' (extract of the commentary by Keiichi Tanaami)

Tokyo Loop · 2006

MovieAnimationComedy

A series of 16 "short stories" created by the creator's group Images Forum.

Photos taken with pinhole camera, sky + clouds. Swirling animation like smoke against a black background.

Crow

It is a monster work that depicts a disturbing air by drawing a scene with the crow as a motif and the scenery of Kyoto in parallel with a frame shot.

Twilight

Twilight · 1985

Hands / flicker / morphing animation suggests sexual organs in a frantic dance.

Zap Cat

Zap Cat · 2008

Circles printed on white paper. Animation frenzy as music becomes more erotic/erratic.

Yellow Fish

Yellow Fish · 1998

Images of the sea and clouds seen from the top of the mountain, the candles of the Tibetan temple, etc., and a chaotic psychedelic animation are juxtaposed.

Lotus

Vivid, chromatic animation.

Shelter

Shelter · 1980

MovieAnimationDocumentary

Set in a cave imagined as an air-raid shelter, images of the surrounding trees are painted over directly on the film. Vivid colors intermixed with the sound of wartime radio communications and bombing create a harmonious composition of documentary and animation.

Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom · 1970

Begun in 8mm film, but completed in 16mm following the purchase of a new camera, this work continues with the psychedelic and anti-war themes, while moments provide the seeds of his later abstract exploration.

Under the Sun

Under the Sun · 1979

Regarded as a creative extension of Stone (1975), animation unfolds on drawing paper placed on a field and farm.

Yamakagashi

Yamakagashi · 1972

The interactions of troops and prostitutes near the Naval Air Facility Atsugi (Kanagawa Prefecture), animated from a child’s perspective. Aihara’s works of this period often contain a documentary view of Japanese society at the time of his childhood.

Image (Shadow)

Image (Shadow) · 1987

Steps with shadows. An arm shadow in the landscape - concrete/grass/flowers. Flicker and a finger morphs into abstraction. A real hand appears above the animation, a zoom - drawings/hands/feet.

MY SHELTER

MY SHELTER · 1981

Following on from Shelter (1981), the setting is again an air-raid shelter. Close-up images of trees are dissected and reformed abstractly. The film culminates with images of elderly survivors of the war in another example of Aihara’s unique blending of documentary storytelling with abstract illustration.

LINE

The scenery of the forest in Ogawa and the city of Kyoto and the abstract animation conceived from there are juxtaposed.

Dusk

A uniquely psychedelic animation of sordid and chaotic images.
