Synopsis
The Ming dynasty Chinese novel Xi You Ji (Journey to the West) is transferred to cut-out animation. The rock monkey Songoku, trapped inside a rock is released by the Master Monk San Zhang and departs with Pa Jie (Piggy) and Sha Zheng (Sandy) to fight demons and monsters, and finally arrive in the West - present-day India - to obtain the Buddhist Scriptures. The originality of chiyogami (colored paper with woodblock printed patterns), used since the Edo period, in the costumes of the characters is worth noting.
