Woodpecker Detective's Office
Set at the end of the Meiji Era, the financially struggling genius poet Ishikawa Takuboku opens a detective business from his lodging in response to a murder case, naming it the Woodpecker Detective’s Office. He becomes involved in a series of bizarre cases, including “the ghosts of the Twelve-Story Tower in Asakusa” and “the man-eating figure who wanders the streets on snowy nights,” with his hometown acquaintance Kindaichi Kyosuke serving as his assistant. Other literary figures such as Nomura Kodo, Yoshii Isamu, Hagiwara Sakutaro, and Wakayama Bokusui are also drawn into Takuboku’s adventures as he travels throughout Tokyo during its period of rapid Westernization.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
