AniWorthA Feather Stare at the Dark
Introduction
A story set in a world before ours. A world in chaos where forces of good and evil fight and mingle. By doing so, it creates the chance to give birth to the new world.
A couple of winged beings make love and fly away. They bear a child in an egg, and when the child opens its eyes they are immediately destroyed, one consumed by fire and the other by water.
Mythical, elemental and mysterious, the world created by Tsuji is dangerous, menacing and suffuse with signs of apocalypse, but somehow simultaneously tender and compassionate. A Feather Stare at the Dark captures simple gestures and primal feelings and amplifies them, realising the non-verbal and non-literal with remarkable grace.

But the man is rich in wishes. And soon man finds desire and the peace is threatened. His inner peace. To desire is to conquer. To love is to give freedom. To desire is to be a slave. Of one’s imagination. Of one’s mind. But desire brings death. And nightmares. And the Light-Bringer is burning in the sky. And destruction comes to bring the end. And the beginning.
The world imagined by Naoyuki Tsuji consists in creating a new mythology over the existing one but using the same known archetypes. The most important aspect of this piece of art is that it has a sense of inner peace, a humility in the…
