Kotowa Jiten: Hetana Teppou mo Kazu Ucha Ataru!

ことわざ辞典 へたな鉄砲も数うちゃあたる!

A young man stands alone in a barren landscape, holding a rifle. He takes aim at a distant target and fires, but the shot misses. Without hesitation, he reloads and tries again, only to miss once more. He repeats this process over and over, each time adjusting his aim slightly, yet the target remains untouched. His face shows determination rather than frustration, as if he knows that sheer persistence will eventually yield results. The environment around him is stark and empty, emphasizing the solitary nature of his task. There is no one to encourage or criticize him—only the repetitive cycle of aiming, firing, and missing.

This short film brings to life the Japanese proverb "even a poor marksman will hit the target with enough shots." Created as an amateur work by a young university student, the animation captures the essence of perseverance through trial and error. The simple yet expressive visuals convey the protagonist's unwavering commitment to his goal, highlighting the idea that success often comes not from innate talent but from relentless effort. The film's minimalist approach allows the core message to shine: that patience and repetition can overcome initial failure.
