Dojoji Temple

Bell of Dojoji. Nightfall. A mosquito. A traveling priest seeks shelter, finding only a woman's spare room. Their brief entanglement ends with the monk fleeing into the wilderness. The woman transforms, pursuing him relentlessly. Kawamoto's stop-motion puppet phantasmagoria is best viewed as nightmare fuel.
