Tooryanse

About This Movie

Tooryanse is a curious short animation by Tomoyasu Murata that taps into an eerie yet whimsical atmosphere. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with a gentle flow that allows the surreal visuals to sink in. It's a blend of traditional and modern techniques that creates a distinctive texture; you can see the hands-on craft in every frame. The themes seem to dance around nature and the ephemeral, with a sense of wonder that’s quite profound yet understated. The overall tone is reflective, leaving you with a lingering thought long after it ends.

Tooryanse is relatively scarce in physical formats, and it's one of those shorts that doesn’t pop up often in collector circles. Limited releases and festival showings have made it a bit elusive, which adds to its intrigue for those interested in short form animation. It’s not just a title to fill space on your shelf; it invites thoughtful discussion around its artistic approach and the techniques used in its creation.
