Kaibutsu-kun (2014)

Yoshimasu launched Kaibutsu-kun soon after the March 2011 disaster in Japan.The complex catastrophes of the earthquake,tsunami,and the accident in the Fukushima nuclear power plant caused more than 20,000 deaths and forced the evacuation of 280,000 people from the affected area.Yoshimasu embarked on the project out of a deep sense of sympathy and commitment,in pursuit of 'poetry possible after March 2011'.He started scribing lines and letters on exceptionally large manuscript paper that he handcrafted every day.Yoshimasu devotedly prepared the materials,his groundwork,and ran a pen across them day after day,'as though tattooing'on his mind. Yoshimasu asked to make a film Takashi Ishida(Artist) and Yoi Suzuki(Film maker). It was not poetry book but a film.
