Kobutori jiisan

 

 

This a superb piece of animation made in Japan in 1929. Kobutori jiisan (瘤取り爺さん; ‘The old man whose lump is removed’) tells the story of a man with a deformed face who chills with a group of tengu, mythological creatures who are half bird, half man. As a favor, they help the man get rid of the tumor on his face.

Tengu, in the traditional stories, started out as bad guys but became protective spirits that you can’t, however, fuck with.

As discovers the bloke who thinks he can make the tengu help him get rid of his deformity too.
