Wishing to brighten the hearts of people who had grown gloomy after suffering blows to their livelihoods due to the Great Depression and the Great Kanto Earthquake, a manga serialized by the Hochi Shimbun at the time became popular and was produced in 1925 (Taisho 14) by Azuma Eiga-sha (Takamatsu Azuma Production) and Asahi Kinema. It is a one-reel Japanese short animated film, drawn and directed by Kimura Hakusan.
