Ushi Nichi
Cow's Day ／ ushi-nichi ／ ウシニチ
Description
A short animation that follows a cow through a long, tranquil day. Simple line drawings bring to life small, mystical, and sweet animal characters, whose interactions add a lighthearted charm. The artwork features a distinctive texture, resembling a pencil sketch lightly rubbed with an eraser, that gives the scenes a unique tactile feel. Created by a student, the film earned the 11th Animation Division Encouragement Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival.
