A four-dimensional short anime will start at the very beginning of Shibuya Crossing, that is, 10,000 years in the past. The anime is part of a collaborative project helmed by Yoshitoshi Shinomiya. It features a hybrid of animation and live-action. The short was screened on Shibuya's Crossing screens and a YouTube-friendly version was posted as well.
The project also has a crowdfunding campaign to raise 1,800,000 yen (US$16,500) to hold a exhibition of the production materials in Shibuya in mid-August.

Where it came from
Shibuya Vernacular was produced by Studio CLAP in 2018 as a special release designed to document the rapidly shifting urban landscape of Tokyo. The project emerged from a desire to capture the informal architectural details and street-level aesthetics of the Shibuya district, focusing on the visual textures that often go unnoticed amidst the area's intense commercial development.
The design approach favored a documentary style, emphasizing typography and signage as a reflection of the local culture. It was received by design enthusiasts as a thoughtful ethnographic study, praised for its minimalist layout and the intentional lack of editorializing, which allowed the photographic evidence of the neighborhood's evolving visual language to speak for itself.
