La Maison en Petits Cubes (つみきのいえ, Tsumiki no Ie, "The House of Small Cubes") is a 2008 Japanese animated short subject film created by Kunio Katō, with music by Kenji Kondo and produced by Robot Communications and animated by Oh!

[4] As his town is flooded by water, an aged widower is forced to add additional levels on to his home in order to stay dry.

But when he accidentally drops his favourite smoking pipe into the lower submerged levels of his home, his search for the pipe eventually makes him relive scenes from his eventful life (including his time before the flooding began).

The concept for the film originated when Kunio Katō was studying at Tama Art University in Tokyo.

During this time, Kunio was introduced to the world of animation when he watched Mark Baker's 1989 debut short film, The Hill Farm.
