Synopsis
Everyone has a different perception of their own appearance as well as a unique way of interpreting it. In his animated self-portrait, Osamu Tezuka depicts himself as a slot machine. After a cycle of rugged, juxtaposed expressions, Tezuka's true form emerges. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Background

Osamu Tezuka was one of the three Japanese animators to participate. Jigazou was shown at the Zagreb International Animation Film Festival in June 1988.
