This folktale appeared in Hungary as an episode of a well known TV animation series called “Hungarian Folk Tales”.

The word “Cerceruska” is the title of a Hungarian folktale, also this word is used as name of a little character appear in the story.

Although Cerceruska is an animated short film, Anido had passion to publish this film as a picture book. The director Maria Holvath drew the original illustrations specially for publishing this picture book, and this book has been published only in Japan.

There is a lot of metaphor expressed through her beautiful illustrations, the unique world she illustrates will definitely impress all readers.

She was saying to us, every object in this story have the meanings behind. For example, “hollow” has meaning of “maternity”, and to represent the meaning there are many circular shapes appeared in this story.

	“Sakura (Haru no Genso)/Cherry blossom (The Illusion of Spring) “1947 8min. Kenzo Masaoka completed “SAKURA(HARU NO GENSOU)/The cherry tree (Spring fantasy)”(46) using Weber’s “Invitation to a dance” (arranged by Berlioz) which Stokowski conducted gorgeously. In this work, the spring sight was lyrically drawn with MAIKO in Kyoto, the shower of falling cherry blossom, and the butterflies which are flying. On a screen, a quiet atmosphere flowed and the noisy social situation was not felt. Moreover, arrival of freedom was not cried for loud. Although it was a negative form, Masaoka’s principle-of-art-for-art’s-sake-spirit was shown like “KUMO TO TUURIPPU.”
