Night of the Kashiwabayashi

In front of Kashiwabayashi, Kiyosaku was grabbed by the head by a strange painting, and replied, "The red and sniffed Kankarakan Kaan."
The image snip began to laugh in a roaring voice.
"What do you think? Let's just lie in the forest a little bit."
--A strange, fun, mysterious moment filled with Kashiwanoki Own, the Owl General, and wonderful prize metal, spread out in the hayashi.

The story spreads in the Kashiwabayashi just like the setting of an operetta.
This is a spectacular work in which Nakano Masanori, who has drawn picture books using a variety of expressions, takes on the deep, three-dimensional work.
It is truly the stage.
Through filming with a variety of directions such as light and fog, you can finally step into the forest, which has become a picture book, and take part in a fun and mysterious moment.
