Alley in Tokoname with reinforced pottery walls as seen in the film

The film was animated by Studio Colorido^[1] and was based on an original story created by Mari Okada. The film takes place in Tokoname, Japan, since director Tomotaka Shibayama grew up there. Many scenes in the film are directly taken from actual places in the town.^[2]^[3]^[4]

The theme song, "Ghost in a Flower" (花に亡霊, Hana ni Bōrei), the insert song "Night Journey" (夜行, Yakō), and the ending, "Liar" (嘘月, Uso Tsuki; lit. 'Lying Moon'), are all performed by Japanese rock duo Yorushika.^[5]
