Shoji Kawamori`s Spring and Chaos is the tragic story of one of Japan`s most beloved poets, Kenji Miyazawa. Born at the end of the 19th Century, Kenji, like many artists, did not receive recognition for his tremendous literary contributions until after his death at the tragically early age of 37.
Spring and Chaos was originally released in Japan in 1996 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Miyazawa`s birth in rural Iwate Prefecture. Originally titled Kenji no Haru, the project was a labor of love for director Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Escaflowne), Group TAC (Street Fighter II The Movie), and TV Iwate.
Spring and Chaos is the animated biography of the man who inspired the imaginations of everyone around him and generations to come. Using both traditional and computer animation, Spring and Chaos magically transports you into the life and times of this remarkable poet.
Much like Kenji Miyazawa`s art itself, Spring and Chaos is filled with poetic images and surrealistic details to not only tell Kenji`s story but to visualize his art. And just like Kenji himself, Spring and Chaos inspires you to see the world in beautiful new ways.
