Synopsis

Phoenix reflects on Kyoto's history and human war through Shinsengumi's Ikeda-ya riot in Tokugawa's final days.

The Phoenix asks us why humans choose war as a means of solving problems, while it looks back on the history of Kyoto and ponders on the riot at Ikeda-ya by the Shinsengumi in the last days of the Tokugawa regime. The short film was also included on the Osamu Tezuka Sakuhin-shuu: Kyoto Animation Theater-hen DVD released in 2015.
