Anime Looking for a very ::old:: anime...

[tattoi nobori]

Hi all! I'm looking for a copy of (what I believe is) the oldest known anime still in existence:

Obasuteyama ("The Mountain Where Old Women Are Abandoned")
by: Sanae Yamamoto, 1924

I would be overjoyed to find it in any format whatsoever: avi, divx, mpeg, .torrent, whatever! Thanks for your time,

Paul

Even if the request is illegal, I find the subject matter itself very interesting.

I never really thought about it, but I always assumed Osamu Tezuka made the first Japanese animation. It's very interesting to learn about Yamamoto. Sorry I don't have any copy of it though.

It'd be interesting to watch a Japanese silent Anime.

The title you are asking about is no longer in print, so I doubt you'll be able to find it in any sort of illegal or dvd format for that matter. Your best bit would be able to find a film collector and even in that case chances are the person will not give up the prints to that film even for a viewing.

Oh my god! Ive been hoping that there would be an anime about this story for months now and there is! I doubt that you could find it anywhere, though. Im sure animenewsnetwork.com could help.

Was there even anime back then?

[COLOR=Navy]On a certain foreign site they sell this anime on a Japanese VCD. I own it and it's a "legit" copy. I would pm you the website but I can't recall the web address. All I remember about the shop was that it was a shop for importers.[/COLOR] :(
