Imokawa Mukuzo-san Genkanban no Maki

芋川椋三玄関番之巻

Imokawa Mukuzo is a man with a humorous name who finds himself in a series of comedic situations. The story follows his misadventures, which were brought to life through a pioneering animation technique using chalk on a blackboard.

This film is considered the first recorded professional animation in Asia, marking a significant milestone in the history of animation. However, there is much speculation about its release, as no copies have survived and its theatrical exhibition remains unconfirmed.
