In Japan, they say there are several tortures, such as a blood pond, a needle mountain, and a place with burning fire in hell. I picked one of these, a blood pond, to create my image of animation.

There is a heaven and hell in everyones mind and I think that people dance because we feel heaven and hell inside ourselves.

I made many of the images using a kids
graphic computer called “My First Sony,” which was very easy to use, and I edited these graphics into animation by using a Sony Handicam V-88 in its animation function.
