Wednesday, September 30, 2020 · 12 - 1 PM
Join us as we watch an animated short and talk to one of the creators about how it was made!
The video is set in Kôchi, Japan in 1800. It is a brief window into the fictional life of 16-year-old Mori Banshirô, a samurai in training who aspires to be an artist. Banshirô’s journey takes place during the Edo period (1603 – 1868), which is the focus of Vaporis’s research.
After the viewing, Dr. Vaporis will tell us more about how it was made and answer questions.
