Studio Ishi is the name of a filmmaking team
which is one part of the work of hip hop
crew stillichimiya. “Ishi” comes from the fact
that they are based in an area of Yamanashi
Prefecture called Ichinomiyacho, Ishi; and the
name “Studio Ishi” (written in katakana) is an
expression of admiration for Studio Ghibli, of
which the founders, MMM (Mukoyama) and
Mr. Maro (Furuya), are ardent fans.
