Video: “Picnic” by Sachiko Sasada
Friend of Japan Eats, Sachiko Sasada, is a Tokyo-based artist who spent a dozen years studying her craft in India. She told us that this short stop motion animation film was her first crack at the genre and took her two and a half months to complete. Another film is in the planning stages and could involve stop motion or animation.
She has also done artwork for Transit magazine (here and here).
Her blog feature more of her creations.
