[Source: Wikipedia] The film is based around "Otokoyo", a game of hide and seek
played by children, wearing fox masks, near the ruins of an abandoned
old city. The children who play this disappear, believed to be spirited away by demons. Kakurenbo
follows Hikora, a boy who joins the game with hopes of finding his
missing sister, Sorincha. The storyline is built on the idea that Tokyo
is losing its natural aesthetic, which includes child's games
such as hide and seek in order for industrial progress to ensue i.e.
lighting the city of Tokyo costing innocence of childhood games.
