Documentary about the history of animation in the 1960s in Japan. Yoji Kuri, Hiroshi Manabe and Ryohei Yanagihara met regularly at the Sogetsu Kaikan and started the development of a collaborative art movement, involving contemporary musicians, photographers, poets, actors, novelists, fine artists and film directors. They introduced animation as art. Manga films had been produced prior to that time, but animation known as art animation, was a new form.
