Shisei Sasshin

Shisei Sasshin

Finished

A young woman in 1925 Japan decides to undergo a beauty treatment that promises to transform her appearance. The procedure, known as shisei sasshin, involves a series of meticulous steps aimed at enhancing her features. As she prepares for the change, she reflects on her daily routines and the quiet life she leads in a modest home.

Once the treatment is complete, she begins to notice subtle shifts in how others perceive her. Neighbors and acquaintances react with curiosity and admiration, while she herself struggles with the gap between her inner self and her new external image. The film explores the tension between personal identity and societal expectations, showing how even a small alteration can ripple through one's relationships and sense of self.

Through delicate, hand-drawn animation, the story captures a fleeting moment of introspection and transformation. It is a gentle meditation on beauty, conformity, and the human desire for renewal, set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century Japan.
