Description:

"Kaneko also made a few films that explored the theme and style of the city symphony genre. In Kōkyōgaku (Symphony, 9.5mm, 1930), which is less than three minute long, Kaneko edited together shots of very short duration that captured objects such as trees, water, and rail tracks; Kaneko described this work as an attempt to create “the movement of objects in symphonic ways.”" - Noriko Morisue, "Filming the Everyday: History, Theory, and Aesthetics of Amateur Cinema in Interwar and Wartime Japan" (Yale University: PhD Dissertation, 2020): 110.
