Kyoto Saga Art University graduate Ujicha is a talented artist who uses hand-made and painted paper cut-outs for models and moves them by hand like marionettes to tell horror stories. He has dubbed it “Geki-mation” and he directs, writes, draws, edits, his own work and it is clear to see his skill is undeniable. Third Window Films are going to release a set of his works entitled UJICHA: Violence Voyager / Burning Buddha Man on January 25th on blu-ray & digital.

Burning Buddha Human             Buddha Burning Human Film Poster

燃える仏像人間   「Moeru Butsuzō Ningen」

Writer: Uji Cha (Screenplay)

Starring: Yuka Iguchi, Minori Terada, Ryuki Kitaoka

David Lynch makes scary movies. The other sort of movie nightmare I fear look sort of like this. Seriously, this is the scariest and most brilliantly inventive thing I watched in 2013. The simple but highly detailed paper cuts outs and the bloody, visceral and creepy character designs created genuinely unsettling feelings in me. It is directed by Ujicha, a creative from Kyoto who wrote, drew and directed the images in this film. It stars the voice of the talented Yuka Iguchi who is a familiar voice actress who can be heard in anime like Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari as Tsukihi and in Haganai. She is joined by Minori Terada who voiced Musuka in Laputa Castle in the Sky.

Synopsis (rewrite based on TWF): The story begins with the theft of Buddha statues from temples in Kyoto. Schoolgirl Beniko (Yuka Iguchi) gets the Buddha statue at her family’s temple stolen and has her parents killed at the same time. She needs to know what caused the death of a parents and dreams of revenge. She goes on a fantastical journey to ultimately face the demon.
