Eihi Shiina Visualbum

22 min · Drama, Fantasy

Following the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, this is Eihi Shiina's first film as a director, which she directed, wrote, acted in, and art produced as the culmination of her activities to date. The trilogy of short films, 1st "KOTONOHA", 2nd "KOTONONE", and 3rd "KOTONOHANA" was created in Japan with the theme of life, death and nirvana. The beautiful and sorrowful visual poetry depicted from Eihi Shiina's original point of view is her brain itself, in which everything she has is concentrated. It is her last message (a will) as an artist to Japan and the world. —Eihi Shiina
