An acrylic painting on wood panel, titled 'House - Part 3', showing a girl doing kung-fu poses in a rainbow halo, as two other girls cower behind her on a tatami raft floating in blood. One of the girls is holding a roman candle with a cat mask at the tip spewing blood from its mouth.

House (Part 3)

(1977, Nobuhiko Obayashi)

My last post on House! My favorite character was Kung-Fu. I think she rightfully stole the spotlight of this movie. She’s got her own cool theme song, she kicks her way out of death several times when all the other girls just take it, and in general seems to know what’s up with the house. So yeah in this final House post I want to express my fondness for KUNG-FU! Please go buy House because it’s worth every penny!

An animated gif of a scene from the Japanese movie 'House' of a girl named Kung-fu played by Miki Jinbo, spinning into the glory of a circular rainbow. The haunting image of an illustrated cat face appears as she disapppears.
