The exclusive premiere of this Inu-Oh feature film took place last September at the 78th Venice International Film Festival. The film was also screened at the Tokyo International Film Festival last October and won the Special Prize in the international section of the Bucheon International Animation Festival. The film was produced by Science SARU and distributed by ASMIK Ace.
Based on the novel "The Tale of the Heike - Inu-o no Maki" by Hideo Furukawa, the film depicts the friendship between Inu-o, a Noh performer who actually existed during the Muromachi period, and his companion Tomo-o, a Biwa player, and how the two captivate people as entertainers.
