Anime director Makoto Shinkai, who is best known for the films Your Name and Weathering With You, has just unveiled his upcoming film Suzume no Tojimare (Suzume Locking Up The Doors) with its first key art.
The poster features a white door surrounded by water and remnants of mossy and decayed buildings, which will remind viewers of Shinkai’s Weathering With You. Check it out below:
