ABOUT US
Au Praxinoscope
Store and gallery opened in 2013 as a place to introduce short animation from around the world. The store carries animation-related books, DVDs, visual toys, and merchandise selected from the perspective of the owner, Yamamura Koji (animation artist and picture book author). As a studio, it also produces and distributes original animations, and in the gallery space, in addition to exhibiting original artwork, it hosts live performances.
Motion Observation Devices
The store name "Au" is the French preposition à + definite article for place, and "Praxinoscope" is the name of a visual toy. In Greek, it means "motion observer. It was invented by French inventor Emile Reynaud in 1879, in the pre-movie history, and was enjoyed in European households as a device that made pictures appear to move.
The original Praxinoscope, manufactured in the 1800s, is on permanent display in the gallery.
