-------- I have been endevouring to ascertain some background information on Japanese animation. Every avenue or lead I follow brings me to Anime - contemporary cell (and computer) animation. Thus far I have been unable to find any clues as to other forms of animation used by Japanese filmmakers either now or in the past. Are there no Svankmajers, Quays, Len Lyes, Nick Parks, Terry Gilliams or Starevichs in Japanese cinema, or do we just not hear about them in the West?
