Wikipedia article
is a Japanese animated film produced by Seitaro Kitayama in 1918. The film is an adaptation of a folk tale 'Urashima Tar' about a fisherman traveling to an underwater world on a turtle. It premiered in February 1918, making it one of the earliest anime films.
It is a lost film; it was thought to have been discovered at a flea market at the Shitenn-ji temple in Osaka in 2007, but the discovered film later turned out to be another unknown work because a plot description and a series of stills of the 1918 film that differed considerably from the discovered film were found in a contemporary magazine.
