“otawamure”, directed by Yoriko Mizushiri, won the Lumiere Japan Awards 2019 excellence works in VR category. Mizushiri’s unique animation and unimaginable interaction were highly evaluated, and the work was judged to excel in its use of the VR medium. I would like to thank all of the creative staff involved with the project.
