義仲映像資料館 第2部 夜明けの将軍

Yoshinaka Film Archive Part 2 "The dawning Shogun"

concept

朝日はいったいいつまでが朝日なのでしょう。 そんなことをひたすら考えながら史実や伝承、物語や伝説に触れ、木曽の地や伝承地に残る当時の息遣いを想像しながら辿っていくと、朝日という大きくて朧げな存在が、朝日将軍と呼ばれる義仲から滲み出る尊さや儚さと重なっていました。 それは、合戦の地や関わった武士たちそれぞれに残された伝説や伝承があるからこそのものでもあり、この作品だけでは語りきれることではありませんが、アニメーションと音楽の中にそうした義仲像の欠片を散りばめています。 心のどこかに引っ掛けて持ち帰ることで新たな義仲像の礎にしてもらえたら幸いです。

Until when is the sunrise truly a sunrise? I constantly thought about this and exposed myself to historical facts, traditions, stories, and legends, as I simultaneously imagined and pursued the vitality of those days which remained in places such as the land of Kiso. Through doing so, the large and nebulous existence of the sunrise overlapped with the nobility and ephemerality that was emanated by Yoshinaka, also known as the Asahi Shogun. This was because of the legends and traditions left behind of each warrior involved in the battles and the places they fought at. Although it cannot be conveyed in this work alone, the pieces of an image of Yoshinaka like this are scattered among the animation and the music. I hope that an aspect of this artwork sticks with you, and that you can bring it back home to use as a foundation for a new image of Yoshinaka.
