Noburō Ōfuji was an influential Japanese animator. He used efficient techniques (for example chiyogami). This essay focuses on a diachronic and aesthetic analysis concerning his most important works (1926-1933): A story of tobacco (1926), Burglars of Baghdad Castle and The story of the monkey king (1926), At the border checkpoint (1930) and The three fearless frogs (1933). The objective of this essay is to give a historical overview about Ōfuji’s directed works, and to explain, by and large, how he had influenced others Japanese animators.
