About Hikawa Maru Monogatari
Hirayama Jirou has lost his mother in the Great Kanto Earthquake and now runs a soba stall with his father. He decides to join the crew of the famous ocean liner Hikawa Maru and finds work cooking in the ship's galley. Through his eyes, the film explores the ship's 85-year history.
Directed by Shunji Oga, Hikawa Maru Monogatari leans on a strong ensemble — Keisuke Komoto, Chihiro Kusaka, Kiyohiro Yamaguchi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2015.
