"A man with arms which can kill people like puppets is not aware that he himself has already become a puppet." In this short hand-drawn silent animation, a wandering samurai learns this lesson firsthand.
Along his travels, the samurai comes across a straw dummy at the base of a tree, with a sword lodged in its body.
