Fantastic looking release, Adam has really stepped up TWF's design game this year. I had to look up the 'bottom row' of movies, and they all seem to be practically unknown (to English speakers) with Hello Junichi having 14 views on Letterboxd, Sorasoi 8, Promise of August none at all, and Norioka Workshop not even being listed there or on IMDB. Absolutely love the effort going into this to bring that sort of stuff to light.
I was wondering if they were shorts or features, but there's something off with the maths so I'm not sure about Norioka Workshop. TWF lists the set as 424 mins total, but the 5 I can find add up to 440:
Shark Skin 108
Party 7 104
Hello Junichi 90
Sorasoi 88
Promise of August 50
Norioka Workshop ?
In any event Shark Skin and Party 7 could have been standalone releases so the bundle together for £45 seems a good price for this little voyage of discovery.
