Dog of Flanders

Dog of Flanders (フランダースの犬, Furandāsu no Inu) is a 1975 Japanese animated television series adaptation of Maria Louise Ramé's novel of the same name, produced by Nippon Animation. The animators conducted extensive research on 19th century Flanders. The buildings depicted in the series were modeled after the Bokrijk open air museum. Although there have been some changes from the original story by Maria Louise Rame, it has been faithful in keeping the storyline accurate. Dog of Flanders aired on Fuji TV between January 5, 1975 and December 28, 1975. The main opening theme song "Yoake-no Michi" (よあけのみち) has always been popular in Japan since the series' debut. It was featured in a daydream sequence in the live action adaptation of Nodame...
