Noburō Ōfuji

First Name Noburō
Born on June 1, 1900
Died on July 28, 1961 (aged 61)

Noburō Ōfuji was a Japanese film director and animator. One of the most notable auteurs of anime, he worked primarily with cutout and silhouette animation. He also made a number of films in traditional animation, using then-expensive, imported cels, while his earliest work known to have survived is a live-action/animated film. He trained under Jun'ichi Kōuchi before starting his own company. He is known for his employment of washi, especially the coloured and patterned Edo chiyogami, which gives his films a distinctively Japanese appearance. He was one of the first Japanese animators to earn international recognition for his work.
