Traffic training - Koutsukunren reviews

Released in September 1948, "Traffic Training - Koutsukunren" is an animated film that focuses on traffic safety, one of the social issues facing postwar Japan. This film was produced at the request of the American occupation forces in Yokohama and was shown at a film festival in Yokohama. Produced by Shineigasha under the direction of director and producer Asano Megumi, this film is known as a landmark in the history of Japanese animation films at the time.

"Traffic Training" is a work with educational significance that reflects the social situation at the time, with content that promotes traffic rules and self-prevention. During the turbulent postwar period, when an increase in traffic accidents had become a social issue, this work was used as a way to appeal to viewers about the importance of road safety. Megumi Asano's drawings and direction were highly praised considering the technical level of the time, and succeeded in making a visual impact.

The background of this work was a project by the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters Traffic Division, and it depicts specific traffic rules and accident prevention methods. Combined with Teruo Asano's cinematography, it achieves visually easy-to-understand and impressive image expression. In particular, the realistic depiction of the traffic accident scene left a strong impression on the viewer, which is thought to have had the effect of raising awareness of road safety.

Although "Traffic Training" is a one-episode short animation, it has influenced many people due to its profound content and educational significance. By depicting the social issues that postwar Japan faced, it not only appealed to viewers about the importance of road safety, but also played a role in encouraging a change in awareness throughout society. This work occupies an important place in the history of Japanese animation films of its time, and has influenced road safety education in later generations.

Traffic training - Recommended by Koutsukuren

"Traffic Training - Koutsukunren" is a highly worthy animated film that depicts the road safety issues that Japan faced after the war. The film reflects the social situation at the time and has educational significance in appealing to the audience about the importance of road safety. Thanks to the drawings and direction by Megumi Asano and the cinematography by Teruo Asano, the film is visually easy to understand and impressive.

This film is also extremely useful in terms of traffic safety education, and is particularly recommended as a way to teach children the importance of traffic rules and self-prevention. It is also an important film for learning about the history of postwar Japanese animation films, and has great historical value. I recommend this film to all people who are concerned about traffic safety issues.

"Traffic Training - Koutsukunren" is a work that reflects the historical background of 1948, but its message is still relevant today. Even in today's world where the increase in traffic accidents has become a social problem, this work is an effective way to appeal to viewers about the importance of road safety. I hope that this work will inspire people to think about road safety and take action.
