Tales of the Street Corner
Parallel to producing successful anime from his manga, Tezuka pursued a dedicated interest in animation as an art form.

Over twenty years he produced a series of fascinating animated shorts for international festival presentation. They collectively merge Japanese tonality with a range of imported European techniques.

His first stand-out work is Tales of the Street Corner which portrays the transformation of street posters before, during and after a war.

Tezuka animates their graphics to superbly convey the psychological transition people undergo during war.
