Nazotoki! Himitsu no Shiho-san — Season 1, Episode 8: Haniwa Armored Warrior

Episode synopsis

In this program, Hanimaru and voice actress Mayumi Tanaka will guide Perfume as they uncover the secrets of the superstar of the haniwa world, the "Kakujia Warrior." 50 years ago, the "Kakujia Warrior" was the first haniwa to be designated a national treasure. It is familiar from history textbooks and was also the model for the movie "Daimajin," but what was it made for in the first place? This time, this precious haniwa has been turned into 3DCG using the latest technology. If you look closely, you will see the magnificent story hidden in the haniwa. The program will also use the "Kakujia Warrior" as a clue to delve into the "feelings" of people who lived in the Kofun period. Currently, the Tokyo National Museum in Tokyo and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo are holding exhibitions of haniwa.

Secret Treasures" uses a high-resolution camera and the latest digital technology to create an ultra-high definition 3DCG image that is a perfect match for the real thing.
