Urashima Tarō (浦島太郎) is a Japanese animated film produced by Seitaro Kitayama in 1918. The film is an adaptation of a folk tale Urashima Tarō about a fisherman traveling to an underwater world on a turtle.[1] It premiered in February 1918,[2] making it one of the earliest anime films.[3]
A restored version of the unrelated film that was found at the flea market, National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo
It is a lost film; it was thought to have been discovered at a flea market at the Shitennō-ji temple in Osaka in 2007, but the discovered film later turned out to be another unknown work because a plot description and a series of stills of the 1918 film that differed considerably from the discovered film were found in a contemporary magazine.[4]
