The ÅŒfuji NoburÅ Award (大藤信郎賞, ÅŒfuji NoburÅ shÅ) is an animation award given at the Mainichi Film Awards. It is named after Japanese animator NoburÅ ÅŒfuji.
History
Following the death of pioneering animator NoburÅ ÅŒfuji in 1961, Mainichi established a new award in his honour to recognise animation excellence. A specialist in silhouette animation, ÅŒfuji was one of the earliest Japanese animators to gain international recognition, winning accolades at the 1952 Cannes Film Festival and the 1956 Venice Film Festival. This award was first presented in 1962 for Tale of a Street Corner (ã‚ã‚‹è¡—è§'ã®ç‰©èªž, Aru Machi Kado no Monogatari) by Osamu Tezuka.
With the growth of the animation industry in Japan, the award in the 1980s came to be dominated by big budget studio productions, over the work of the independent animators for whose efforts it was originally established. To address this concern, the Animation Grand Award was established to reward large scale cinematic animation, enabling the ÅŒfuji award to focus on shorter pieces again. This award was first presented in 1989 for Kiki's Delivery Service (é"女ã®å®…急便, Majo no TakkyÅ«bin) by Hayao Miyazaki.
The award encompasses a much wider variety of animation than many western anime fans would consider. Two of the most frequent winners over the years, Tadanari Okamoto (å²¡æœ¬å¿ æˆ, Okamoto Tadanari) and KihachirÅ Kawamoto (å·æœ¬å–œå…«éƒŽ), specialize mainly in stop motion rather than cel animation. As well as being an adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel, The Old Man and the Sea is the winning work of Russian animator Aleksandr Petrov.
