Animated Segments
Norshteyn animated the opening stanza (hokku) as the special guest (kyaku). Chikusai is running around listening to trees, and meets Bashō. He's awed, but is amused to see that Bashō is picking bugs out of a cloak that is as torn as his own. He gives Bashō his own hat in exchange for Bashō's (which has a gaping hole at the top) and goes away. Suddenly, the wind picks up and blows the torn hat away. Chikusai chases after it and manages to catch it, but then with a shrug lets it go and allows it to fly off wherever the wind will take it. Meanwhile, Bashō is moving slowly and laboriously against the wind, with a hand on his new hat to keep it from flying away.
Speaking at the November 30, 2007 Russian theatrical premiere of Winter Days, Norshteyn said that he had made a longer, 3-minute version of this segment, but had not yet added sound to it.
Kawamoto animated the second (waki) and final (ageku) stanzas as the organiser (shōshō).

Famous quotes containing the words animated and/or segments:
“Uncle Bens brass bullet-mould
And powder horn, and Major Bogans face
Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
Theres naught to kill but the animated dead;”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men: divided into mere segments of menbroken into small fragments and crumbs of life, so that all the little piece of intelligence that is left in a man is not enough to make a pin, or a nail, but exhausts itself in making the point of a pin or the head of a nail.”
—John Ruskin (18191900)
