Mt. Head

A notoriously miserly man in historic Tokyo refuses to waste anything, habitually swallowing whole cherries along with their pits to avoid discarding scraps. Soon afterward, an incredible sprout emerges from the crown of his skull, rapidly blossoming into an enormous, vibrant cherry tree. Flocks of boisterous holiday revelers, musicians, and picnickers gather on his head to drink, sing, and celebrate spring, driving the stingy man into hysterical madness. In exasperation, he violently yanks the tree out by its roots, leaving a deep crater that fills with rainwater and triggers an even more surreal fate.
