The story happened in Kyoto, 1872. The geisha Kobayashi and Hideyoshi fell in love with each other, and he became her lover. However, due to the war, they were separated from eachother forever.

This titles video is a prelude to a self-initiated animation short sequence “KIYOMI KOBAYASHI — Sword and fire” created and directed by Yi Le

“It is the art work I want to make after my first trip to Kyoto this year,I was really impressed by the great temples ,garden and people there,I felt very peaceful when I was in Kyoto.Unluckly,I didnt have a chance to watch the performance of geisha at thattime,but I saw a lots of geisha walking on the streets,It’s like time never passed!
In this video,I portraied the 1872’s Kyoto in my thought, The geisha Kobayashi and Hideyoshi fell in love with each other, and he became her lover. However, due to the war, they were separated from eachother forever. I hope this story will bring people’s attention to the cruelty of war, as well as the status of women during those times.”
